1980s

Andrew started his fishy career aged 26 working for a wholesaler based in London. By listening to chefs, he gained the knowledge to source exceptional seafood to exacting standards. In 1991 Andrew took a chance and started selling fresh and frozen seafood on his own to restaurants closer to home in Essex.

Because of his exceptional knowledge and attention to detail the company very quickly got the reputation for quality seafood. Outgrowing the single small van and warehouse in Romford, he moved onto bigger premises in Dagenham.

Scalling Up

The recently built warehouse soon became filled up everyday with fresh seafood coming from all corners of the UK. A second and third delivery van was added to meet demand.

Perfect Plaice

With more space, big walk in fridge and freezers could be designed to accommodate the business needs. By 2010 4 refrigerated vans were needed to deliver seafood daily to all corners of Essex.

Family Business

In 2017 Andrews son Alex joined the business. Years worth of knowledge has been passed on. And with his fresh eyes, old systems were bought up-to-date.

Our focus has and always will be to supply customers with the best possible seafood. Our continued growth and development will be because chefs trust us to deliver fish to them at a higher standard.
