Fish
We pride ourselves on the enormous variety and quality of fish we can offer in our stores across the UK, and the needs of the livestock are our utmost priority. By creating our very own livestock charter, we aspire to meet the highest welfare standards in the industry. We will never knowingly sell products that compromise the livestock in any way. Our comprehensive Databank provides an encyclopaedia of information about the fish we stock in our stores. Please note that not all species are stocked in every store. We recommend that you contact your local store to check for any specific availability before making a journey.
