Fresh Live Mussels are a true South West delicacy, either grown on the River Teign or rope‑grown in the clear waters of Lyme Bay. Naturally plump and full of flavour, they are delivered live.

Why it’s special: Our mussels are cultivated in nutrient‑rich waters that encourage a clean, sweet flavour and tender texture. They are carefully cleaned and selected for quality and freshness before being packed to order.

Quality & versatility: Mussels are naturally high in protein and a source of essential minerals, making them both healthy and delicious. Their distinctive taste works beautifully in a wide range of dishes, from quick midweek meals to special‑occasion dining.

Serving inspiration: Steam gently with white wine, garlic, and parsley for a classic moules marinière, or cook with chilli, ginger, and coconut milk for a fragrant Asian‑inspired broth.

How is the fish packaged for delivery?

Your order is vacuum-packed and labelled, then carefully packed in a recyclable cardboard box with eco-friendly wool insulation and frozen gel packs to keep it chilled during delivery.

Marion
Handpicked Dressed Crab

Have tried many on line fishmongers but my god, hands down this one is the absolute best. The skate wings we ordered were so fresh and delicious. We went for the 500g and they were huge! Nevertheless we ate one each with a few chips and capers. Will definitely become a regular customer and I cannot recommend enough. Thank you!

Fabulous! Prompt delivery, well packaged, delicious sardines - highly recommend :)

Susan
Wild Sardines

I have been trying to get seafood, in particular crab, delivered fresh for a very long time. All suppliers deliver pre-frozen products sold legally as fresh. Having spent a lot of my childhood on the south coast I know the vast difference in flavour between the two. When the delivery arrived I was absolutely delighted with the dressed crab and crab meat pots. The entire order was top quality (plaice, sardines, bass). I cannot recommend Hamiltons enough and will be using them on a regular basis from now.

The salmon was wonderful, poached in a court bouillon and decorated perfect for my son’s 60 th. Also the smoked haddock and Huss I bought were excellent quality. When I run out of fish I’ll be back.,

This is how seafood should taste. If you're still getting your fish from the supermarket you're missing something special.
