For 25 years I have had a fishman come round who sells frozen in boxes of about a kilo. He rings me about every six weeks and then brings round the fish I want within 24 hours. The company he works for has chopped and changed over the years as it has changed hands and been sold on.
Unfortunately, he has retired and I have now to find another source of fish. I have discovered this company Frozen Fish Direct frozenfish.direct/. They are a local company operating nationwide and I have a shrewd suspicion that they are the ones that now own all the smaller suppliers my Fishman used to work for,
Interestingly, they say the following on their website about the advantage of frozen over fresh fish
^ Our fish is frozen at sea within 4 hours of being captured, ensuring the freshest and tastiest seafood. Fresh fish takes several days to travel from the water to the supermarket or fishmonger, losing its freshness along the way. Frozen fish retains all of the nutrients and goodness that the same fish would have if eaten fresh from the sea.^ A bit like frozen vegetables being fresher than supermarket or market vegetables.
I am about to order from them, starting with their mixed box.
