Shop History:

Why ‘Skipper’s’ you may ask. We named our local Fishmongers Skipper’s as a nod to the original Skipper at West Coast Sea Products: John King Senior. From there he went on to fish for Scallops and built West Coast Sea products to be what it is today: a fleet of five scallop fishing vessels with a factory that has over 100 local employees exporting Scottish Scallops across Europe. We first started to provide our local services in 2020 delivering fresh scallops to peoples’ doors. When demand grew, we invested in two mobile fishmonger vans that have been travelling around Dumfries and Galloway giving rural areas access to Scottish Seafood. Skipper’s Fishmongers is the next step in our local services, offering permanent shop with longer opening hours for the Kirkcudbright community and beyond. The local community was close to John King Senior’s heart, and we know he would have loved to see fresh local seafood, landed by our vessels, being sold in the heart of Kirkcudbright.

Seafood & W**e Pairing: Onda Grande Vinho Verde 🥂

Fresh, light and crisp, Onda Grande Vinho Verde is made for seafood. Its bright citrus notes and refreshing acidity pair beautifully with fresh oysters, enhancing their clean, briny flavour without overpowering them.

🐟 Also delicious with white fish, prawns, scallops and seafood chowder.

It's a classic Portuguese white w**e that's fresh, elegant and full of coastal charm.
