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.

My husband just walked in while doing this and told him what I was doing and his words were EXCELLENT, I also think that was for the fish..

Maureen

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.

I've used Hamilton's for my fish for a few years, and never been disappointed in anything.The staff are always very helpful when there is a query, Great service.

The fish is always beautifully fresh and absolutely delicious. Living so far inland, it is hard to source really fresh fish, but Hamiltons deliver it to us in first class condition and we are very pleased with everything that we have received to date.
