🐟 A little insight into life behind the fish counter…

No two days at the fish market are the same! A busy auction one week can look very different the next, as these figures from Brixham show 👇

⚖️ Under 6 tonnes landed, compared with 75 tonnes the previous Wednesday.

🚢 Just one beam trawler and a handful of day boats, compared with seven beam trawlers plus day boats.

⏱️ An auction over in 33 minutes, instead of the usual two to two-and-a-half hours!

Weather and conditions at sea have a huge influence on what’s available. It’s why the choice on a fishmonger’s counter can change from day to day 🌊

A reminder of the hard work that goes into bringing fish ashore—and why we appreciate the crews behind every catch 💙

🍂☔️ Autumn is well and truly here… but this counter is worth braving the weather for! 🐟

Pop in and see us at Farm Shop Fishmongers — we’ve got a beautiful selection of fish and shellfish to brighten up your dinner plans.

Think homemade fish pie, a warming fish curry or garlic butter prawns with crusty bread… perfect for a cosy night in! 🍽️

Need a little inspiration? Have a chat with us and we’ll help you choose something delicious.

Grab your coat, brave the weather and pop in — we’d love to see you! 💙

🐟🇬🇧 BRIXHAM COD CUTLETS — IN STOCK TOMORROW! 🇬🇧🐟

Now that’s a lovely bit of cod! 👀

We’ve got some beautiful British cod coming to Farm Shop Fishmongers tomorrow, landed in Brixham by the Rose of Sharon and supplied through fish merchant Ian Perkes.

Take a look through the pictures to see the whole fish and the lovely cutlets being prepared. Thick, hand-cut portions, with the skin and centre bone left in — a proper traditional fishmonger’s cut. 🔪🐟

Cod cutlets are a brilliant choice for anyone who enjoys a substantial piece of fish. With their mild flavour and lovely white flakes, they’re ideal for a simple supper or something a little more special.

🍋 Roast with butter, lemon and parsley.
🍅 Bake with tomatoes, garlic and olives.
🥔 Serve with buttery new potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

You don’t need to overcomplicate good fish — a few simple ingredients and let the cod do the talking!

Knowing where our fish comes from matters to us. Being able to share the boat’s name, the landing port and the merchant behind it gives you a proper connection to what’s on our counter. There’s a lot of work between bringing a fish aboard and getting it ready for your dinner, and we’re pleased to share a little of that story with you. ⚓💙

A big thank you to the crew of the Rose of Sharon and Ian Perkes for supplying this lovely cod.

Available tomorrow, Thursday 15th October, at Farm Shop Fishmongers. Pop down, have a look and let us help you choose your cutlets. If you’re unsure how to cook them, just ask the team — we’re always happy to help.

From Brixham to Buntingford — proper fish, hand-cut and ready for your table. 🐟🙌

🐟💙 One year of Farm Shop Fishmongers! 💙🐟

On 18th October 2025, we opened our doors at Pearce’s Farm Shop. As we approach our first birthday, we’re proud to have served roughly 23,000 customers, many of whom return week after week — and we couldn’t have done it without you!

To everyone who has bought from us, recommended us, shared our posts or simply popped in for a chat — thank you. Your support has helped us grow from our little cabin into the shop we have today.

A special thank you to the Pearce family and everyone at Pearce’s Farm Shop for welcoming us and supporting us along the way. We’re proud to be part of such a lovely place.

And to our hardworking team and suppliers — thank you for helping us keep the counter full and our customers smiling.

It’s been a busy year, with plenty of hard work, learning and laughter. We’re grateful to everyone who’s been part of it.

Here’s to another year of fresh fish, friendly faces and being your local fishmongers! 🥂🐟
