Our seafront shop is situated rather splendidly by Cobb Harbour in Lyme Regis, Dorset. Picture circa 1860, For something more up to date, visit this bit of google earth!
More great pictures on our gallery link at the top or check out these blogs.


We also run a well stocked stall conveniently located up on the A35 at Millers Farm Shop in Kilmington

Both shops are open from Tuesday to Sunday 9am 'til 5pm.

We get what's seasonally available from registered local Lyme Bay fishermen.
This amounts to most of our crab and lobster, plenty of dover soles, plaice, mackerel and dabs etc. Sourced from fishermen in Bridport, Beer, Charmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis.Very local crabs.
Being fairly close to Brixham and Newlyn fish markets, we receive daily deliveries from both. Cracking fresh natural smoked haddock and kippers come from Hull and Whitby.Cracking kippers from Whitby.
By all means ask us if you want to know the source of your fish on 01297 444205 during open hours.
Know someone skinny who needs a good feed? Phone 01297 444205 for a gift voucher. We'll send a custom card with your chosen amount/ greeting which they can then use in either of our shops or for a sealed fish parcel in the post. Valid for a year from date of sending.

Which carrier do you send your fish with? Royal Mail Special Delivery or DHL international.How we wrap your fish parcel.
How fresh is it really? From this morning's market in Brixham or Newlyn or from a local fisherman this morning and straight into our harbourside shop!

 

How do I know it's going to be better than my supermarkets seafood counter? We don't just wear white coats for our saturday shift. We're passionate about quality and guarantee huge distribution centres somewhere in the midlands aren't used to supply your 'fish that came in fresh today'.


Do you sell internationally? We supply customers in Italy and Switzerland. The fish will arrive next day in Europe, airfreight being around £60. We find people generally club together for a 10 kilo+ order to make this worthwhile.


Alpamer Oven Bags.

We prep your fish, include the best herbs, lemon and butter and then seal it up for your oven in one of our new special bags.
Alot of our customer base have a recipe in mind when visiting us for their tea and wont want us to fiddle with it in any way. On the other hand, there are plenty of fish lovers out there who find it a hassle to cook, abhor washing up, don't like the smells or are just feeling plain lazy!
Including organic butter and a slice of fresh lemon, you just pierce the bag once and roast at 200c for 20mins. Favoured combinations are:
1. Fresh seabass or bream with rosemary and thyme.
2. Local pollack/ cod or haddock fillet with dill.
3. Fresh prawns with garlic and ginger.
The machine is based in Lyme but we do take some up Millers for the counter on Thurs/ Fri and Saturday.


Fishmonger Simon Bennett.
Our Lyme shop has been a wet fish shop since 1934 and it still smells great! From the thirties to the millenium it was owned by local legend Victor Homyer. Many people still pop in with anecdotes about Victor and his family.
Simon Bennett has run it since 2002. Originally started as a family business, Simon now runs it independently. The other Bennetts run a shop in Dorchester.
Miller's Farm Shop Fish Stall opened in the summer of 2007. situated on the A35 at Kilmington (just passed Axminster heading west), Malcolm's shop was established in the 80's and his family business has enjoyed many successful years serving the locals of East Devon and West Dorset.
