⏱️ 3–4 minute read
We’re incredibly proud to share that Hamiltons Fish has been awarded Gold in the Online Retailer category at the Taste of the West Hospitality & Retail Awards 2026.
As an independent, family-run business in Devon, being recognised as an award-winning online fishmonger means a great deal to us. It reflects not only the quality of our seafood, but also the experience we provide from website to delivery.
“One of the Best Websites We’ve Judged”
One of the highlights from the judges was their feedback on our website, describing it as:
“It’s one of the best websites I’ve judged.”
They also praised how easy it is to navigate and how the information is presented clearly, helping customers feel confident when ordering fresh seafood online.
Freshness and Quality Recognised
The judges sampled a wide range of products across our fresh and smoked offering and shared some brilliant comments, including:
- Crabmeat: “High quality… smelt of the ocean, fresh and delicious.”
- Hot smoked salmon: “Completely delicious, a great texture.”
- Smoked salmon pâté: “One of the best smoked salmon pates I’ve ever had.”
They also noted:
“The quality of the fish is high and it’s fresh on arrival. Their smoked products are outstanding – utterly delicious.”
That’s exactly what we aim for with every order.
From Brixham Fish Market to Your Door
Much of our fish is sourced through Brixham Fish Market, then prepared and packed at our premises in Bovey Tracey. We buy daily, prepare to order, vacuum pack carefully, and dispatch in temperature-controlled packaging so your seafood arrives in excellent condition.
For an online fishmonger, reliability and presentation matter just as much as flavour. Our goal is always that your order looks as good when you open the box as it did when it left us.
Why This Gold Award Matters
There are many places to order seafood online. Being recognised as a Gold Award-winning online retailer offers extra reassurance that customers are buying from a business that’s been independently judged on quality, service and the overall online shopping experience.
Taste of the West is one of the best-known food awards in the region, and receiving Gold is something we’re genuinely proud of.
Thank You
This award reflects the hard work of our whole team, from early mornings buying fish, to careful preparation and smoking, to packing and customer service.
