Our Suffolk Coast has a long fishing heritage and we’re proud to offer a superb range of traceable and responsibly caught fish from ethical local suppliers that are working hard to keep sustainable fishing traditions alive.
Our fish range is sourced from Wightman Brothers, the premier wet fish merchants in Lowestoft’s historic fish market , which has been trading since 1937. Now headed up by Steve and Emma Wightman, they catch and deliver in true “net to plate” style – Skipper Steve operates the Georgie Girl LT 1042 from Lowestoft Harbour. Fish they cannot catch themselves are purchased from East Anglian inshore fisheries or other trusted fishermen.
Smoking takes place in Lowestoft too – the rich and deep flavour of their smoked fish is created by skilful brining and kiln-smoking over oak chippings and sawdust for up to 36 hours.
