Take it you missed the post where I said I'm getting stuff from my local mobile fishmonger. Also, I fucking HATE the phrase "going forward". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should touch base there and see.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Maybe someone in the Falkirk area knows something I dont but the availability of fresh shellfish in particular is shite. Morrisons is about the best but probably cut right back atm. MJW are very hit and miss and the one in Callendar Square same. They carry a lot of frozen stuff I think but fresh is limited. Not sure who the best online retailers are tbh. Theres bound to be some that are good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industry has been basically shut down since lockdown, the ones that have kept going are getting shite prices, making it not worth their while. Some have just been selling catch from the pier to the public. All the main buyers freezers have been full, but things are starting to slowly move again, it should start getting better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Spoiled here as an Arbroath fish van visits regularly. Good to see our local fishmonger is back up and running, so had haddock last night and salmon with roasted vegetables tonight including Eassie asparagus. Wine was average but finished now. Rerr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
