Hamiltons Fish is a proud family-run business rooted in the traditions of the South West’s fishing industry. Founded over 20 years ago by Kevin Hamilton — who began his career working for national seafood wholesalers — the business was born from a desire to offer fresher, better fish direct to customers. From early starts at Brixham Market to making deliveries from the back of a van, Kevin built the company on hard work, honesty, and a deep understanding of the trade.

As demand grew beyond our local area, Kevin’s son Ben saw an opportunity — and a challenge. Too many people across the UK wanted access to top-quality fish, but couldn’t find anything truly fresh. So Ben helped shape the next stage of our journey: bringing Hamiltons Fish online, introducing nationwide delivery, and making it easier than ever for customers to get the best of Brixham wherever they live. He now manages all things digital, from processing orders and updating the website to ensuring you always receive helpful, personal service when you call the office.

Kevin’s daughter Laura later joined the team, bringing a sharp eye for quality and a background in operations. She now leads our quality control, order packing, and smokehouse — ensuring every product meets our highest standards. Her work with our smoked range has earned us recognition too, including a Gold Award for Smoked Haddock at the Food & Drink Devon Awards.

Today, we remain a close-knit team with strong local ties — buying direct from Brixham Market, preparing everything fresh to order, and combining tradition with thoughtful innovation. We’re proud to have been named Online Retailer of the Year, and even prouder to serve loyal customers across the country.

From our family to yours — thank you for supporting Hamiltons Fish.

Fresh, honest seafood, delivered with care.
