Christmas FAQs

SECURE YOUR FEAST

WHY PRE ORDER?

Christmas and New Year are some of the busiest times of the year for fresh seafood, and sourcing certain fish and shellfish can be particularly tricky.

That's why we always recommend pre-ordering. It's the best way to secure your festive favourites and gives us time to source and prepare everything for your celebrations.

Prefer to shop in person? Our shops will still be open for walk-ins, including Christmas Eve until 3pm. Just bear in mind that stock may be limited, and we can't guarantee specific products without a pre-order.

Order early, relax later.
