I spoke to Checkout Magazine recently for their October Catch of the Month feature, in partnership with BIM.

We talked about how I got into fishmongering, some of the lesser known species that deserve more attention, the challenges facing independent fishmongers and something I talk about quite a bit on here, how we market seafood to consumers.

Thanks to Checkout and BIM for giving me the opportunity to have my say.

The full piece is in the October edition of Checkout.

An unexpected trip to the pier after work yesterday.

One of the Foyle Co-op boats had to come in early with only a few boxes of fish. We got the call to go down and collect them, so I brought the camera along.

A good little example of how something that happens at sea can quickly affect everyone further down the line.

Yesterday I made the trip to Mountbellew to spend my first morning at one of our new market stalls. Thought I’d bring the camera along for the day.

Refreshing to get away from the day to day of running a fish factory and meet the people on the street.

“Fish is too expensive.” Expensive compared to what?

Something I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time.

The prices and yields in this video are real examples from what we’re buying and selling right now. Fish prices change constantly depending on supply and demand, and yields vary from species to species and fish to fish.

I’m not saying chocolate, ham or anything else here is overpriced. And I’m not saying fish is cheap.

I’m simply asking why we’re so conditioned to describe fish as expensive when we rarely stop to look at what we’re already paying per kilo for completely ordinary food.

A €2.30 chocolate bar would cost 96c if it was priced at the same €32/kg as our monkfish fillet.

And the packet of sliced ham I bought this morning works out more expensive per kilo than the monkfish.

Maybe the question isn’t “why is fish so expensive?”

Maybe it’s “expensive compared to what?”

Molloys Fish is now in Mountbellew and Athlone! 🐟

We’ve recently taken over a fish stall from a loyal customer of ours, and we’re delighted to be taking on the business.

We’ve supplied independent fish vans and market traders around the country for a long time, but this is our first time running markets of our own.

📍 The Square, Mountbellew
Every Wednesday, 8am to 5.30pm

📍 St. Mary’s Square, Athlone
Every Thursday, 8.30am to 5pm

We’ll also be in Athlone on Fridays for the next two weeks, from 8.30am to 3pm, before moving to Thursdays only.

An exciting step for our family business, and we’re looking forward to getting established in both towns and bringing our fish there for years to come. 🐟🐟

A different setting for talking fish today 🐟

Really enjoyed going back to St Catherine’s Vocational School (18 years later 😆) and spending the morning with the Transition Year students as part of BIM’s Seafood Academy workshop. A chance to show them some of the fish we work with, how we prepare them and the work involved before a fillet reaches the plate.

Lovely to get out of the factory and share a bit of what we do. Thanks to BIM, the teachers and the students for having me! 🐟🐟

The fish doesn’t know it’s Fish Friday 🎣

I love working with fish, but one of the hardest parts of what I do is the expectation that everything should be available all of the time.

Wild fish just doesn’t work like that.

What’s available changes with the seasons, weather, quotas, fishing effort and simply what the boats catch.

Every week we have to take a gamble. Buy too little and we disappoint someone. Buy too much and we risk wasting an incredibly valuable wild food.

My two busiest weeks are Christmas and Holy Week. Ironically, last year they were also the two weeks we had the least fish available.

So whether you’re buying for your family or writing a restaurant menu, maybe the best question isn’t “Why don’t you have what I want?”

It’s “What’s available today?”

Because you can’t manufacture availability in the sea. 🌊
