Our Delivery Schedule

We deliver Wednesday to Saturday, and because we're sending you the freshest fish possible, here's how the timing works:

Your order leaves us the day  before your chosen delivery day and arrives with you fresh and ready to go straight in the fridge.

No orders are dispatched on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday — so if you miss a cut-off, just grab the next available slot!

Yes, as long as your order is placed before Thursday. These slots may be subject to limited availability.

No.

Your fish order is kept cool in transit because we use a one-piece foil insulated cardboard box, and your fish is packed along with specially designed ice packs.

The insulated cardboard box is leak-proof and sturdy. It keeps the inside cool. Our ice packs are made with a water-based gel, which is frozen and packed with the fish. This will keep the fish at the correct temperature for up to 48 hours. When the ice does melt, it stays as a gel, which prevents the delivery becoming wet.

Disposing of Boxes & Ice Packs

Cardboard Box

Remove the foil lining from the cardboard box and put into the general waste. The box can then be recycled. Alternatively, the foil can be re-used for things such as insulation.

Ice Packs

The ice packs within your order contain a food safe gel which can be easily disposed of by cutting the edge off the pack and pouring into the sink. The pack can then be disposed of in your general waste. If preferred, you can dispose of the full ice pack in general waste. Alternatively, these are great to re-use. Just pop them into your freezer and use when required!

All products shipped Frozen should be used within 24 hours of arrival.

Best Method - In the fridge on kitchen towel

Remove the packaging, place the fillet on a suitable plate with a couple of sheets of kitchen towel underneath, cover with cling film and leave in the fridge for 12-24 hours until fully defrosted. This method protects the fish, draws away any excess moisture from the flesh and ensures the quality.

In the fridge in vac pack

You can also defrost the fish in its packaging with fair results. In this case cut off just one corner of the pack and position it so that the water can drip out of the hole you’ve just made into a bowl.

Under a cold tap

If you are in a hurry, keep the fish in its packaging and run it under COLD (never warm!) water. It’s important to leave the packaging on and check there are no holes. If the water comes into direct contact with the flesh it will rinse out quality and flavour.

In Microwave

Remove all packaging, use the defrost function and proceed very cautiously, inspecting after every, say, 60 seconds.. Be very careful not to start cooking the fish.
