The town where I live (Peterhead) has the biggest white fish fishing fleet in the Uk?

Question

and yet finding truly fresh fish here is nigh on impossible. The supermarkter stuff looks stale to say the least. No wet fish shops here.

Any suggestions for getting fresh fish apart from catching it myself?

This is the Bloo Toon were talking aboot, na some quaint fishing village. The loons would tell me where tae gaw if I waited at the harbour.

Answer 1

I thought there was fish shops near the town centre of Peterhead, near the car park in the middle of the road. I know my father has bought fish from down there a few years ago. My niece lives in Peterhead, i visit quite a lot. Although it is quite a while since i bought fish from there. Have to admit the supermarket fish is not as fresh as it should be.Im lucky my partner goes sea fishing every so often and the taste is alot better when its come straight from the net to the table.

Answer 2

I thought that was Fraserburgh? But even gettting fresh fish there is difficult. Moving east along the north-east coast and the smaller fishing towns then the chances increase and the fish is yummy.

Answer 4

Is this right? I visited Peterhead many many years ago and had some lovely fresh fish - what a shame if this is right.

Answer 5

Nip up to Buckie 2 great fish shops here selling super fresh fish.My niece gets them vacuum packed for her to take home to Edinburgh.

Answer 6

meet the boats when they dock, that way it will be the freshest you can get it without catching it yourself, if you know some of the fishermen it should be easy enough to do, just ask them if they would supply you directly.

Answer 7

can you not meet the boats as they come in,,

or buy straight from the harbour,,,?
