Christmas is the highlight of our year here at Hamiltons Fish. It’s when customers across the UK come together to enjoy beautifully fresh seafood — from smoked salmon breakfasts to relaxed Boxing Day suppers. Our entire Christmas range is freshly prepared to order, ensuring exceptional quality from the Devon coast to your festive table.
Seafood at Christmas – A Growing UK Tradition
More families than ever are turning to seafood over the festive period. Whether it’s a light meal on Christmas Eve, smoked salmon with breakfast on Christmas morning, or a fresh, healthy dish during the days that follow, seafood has become an increasingly popular choice.
Many customers choose seafood as a way to enjoy something special without the heaviness of traditional meats. Others like to start their healthy eating early by adding fresh fish into their festive menu. And for households who entertain across several days, seafood offers everything from quick, simple dishes to luxurious centrepieces.
Whatever your plans, our Christmas range is designed to make festive cooking easier, fresher, and more memorable.
