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 and Angela Hamilton, the business began with a simple goal: to offer fresh Brixham fish direct to customers.

Kevin started his career working for national seafood wholesalers, and combined that knowledge with Angela's support and determination to build a business based on honesty, quality, and hard work. From early mornings at Brixham Market to making deliveries from the back of a van, Hamiltons Fish grew one customer at a time.

As demand grew beyond our local area, their son Ben saw both an opportunity and a challenge. Many people across the UK wanted access to top-quality fish but struggled to find anything truly fresh.

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 enjoy the best of Brixham wherever they live. He now oversees operations and digital management, ensuring every customer receives the same personal, friendly service that has defined us from the start. His work has been recognised with Gold Awards for Online Retailer at both the Food & Drink Devon Awards and the 2026 Taste of the West Awards.

Kevin's daughter Laura later joined the team, bringing a meticulous eye for quality and a background in production. She now leads quality control, order preparation, and our smokehouse, ensuring every product meets our highest standards. Her expertise has been central to the quality of our smoked range, which has earned national recognition over the years.

In 2026, that commitment was recognised with three Gold Awards at the Taste of the West Awards: Gold for Online Retailer, Gold for Natural Smoked Haddock, and Gold for Smoked Salmon Sashimi Style. We're incredibly proud of these awards, which reflect the hard work of the whole team.

Over the years, the business has been supported by a number of dedicated pairs of hands, all helping us grow while keeping our values at the heart of what we do. Today, the next generation is already getting involved. During school holidays, Ben's son Liam plays an ever-helpful role in the day-to-day running of the business.

We remain a close-knit family team with strong local roots, buying direct from Brixham Market, preparing everything fresh to order, and combining traditional skills with thoughtful innovation.

From our family to yours, thank you for supporting Hamiltons Fish. Fresh, honest seafood, delivered with care.
