    "A Fishmongers!?" "A Fishmongers!" I hear you say!…read moreYes thats right... A fishmongers, they are still out there Tovey's has been out there for ages in fact, as Melanie pointed it's a family business, which is evident when you step inside, you are given fantastic service and feel like a long lost cousin being welcomed by the family. Also the fish, from my relativley small experience of fish (as i'm more a red meat sort of person), is fantastic. If your a bit 'iffy' about the whole fish situation they will sort everything out for you, very e-fish-ent (pardon the pun!), and give you some guidence if your not sure about the cooking method. Selection as well is second to none, it was like all the characters from Finding Nemo where there for you to select and eat!

    Fish glorious fish. Tovey's fishmongers stocks them all (well all edible varieties anyway). Fresh…read moreand frozen, the shiny scales and bright eyes show the quality before you've even stepped inside. Toveys is a family business and it shows - friendly service and a generation-to-generation passion for seafood is evident in all their signs, customer banter and the beautiful display of fish they sell. They not only supply you and I with fresh produce, but also lots of the restaurants and hotels around the city - evidence enough that this is the place to go. The scallops are plump, the mussels abundant and the mackerel glossy and line caught, the refridgerated section includes an appealing looking selection of game, which includes hare, grouse and venison. Most importantly, as I always get a bit freaked out about having to deal with fish - they'll do all the boning, gutting, filleting and cleaning you'll need - all ready for the frying pan.

    If you can use a wholesale amount of fish, this is the place to get it. Come early for the action:…read morefishmongers pitching their catches, from the very common to the extremely exotic. There's no question about the quality, the freshness, or the authenticity of these vendors, but they mean business. This is not a market for casual perusal, this is where you go when you have to feed twenty or more people some extremely fresh, extremely flavorful fish.

    "when the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the…read moresea", so says eric cantona! so when i first saw seagulls swarming billingsgate fish market, i knew this is the place to come for your fresh seafood fix! not only were there seagulls but hoards of people even though it was already 6.40am. you see, they start as early as 5am and we were definitely not among the early birds. armed with our buckets for carrying our expected loot, we were well prepared for our catches of the day. the buckets will really come in handy as it will keep your boot clean too! in case you are wondering, they do retail to the general public. of course, they would prefer you buying more than what you need, but the fact that they sold us 2 pieces of salmon fish head for 1 quid should encourage you to come here! a plastic bag was also provide, what a steal!:) the salmon fish head must be the best buy, plenty of flesh was still attached. according to my friend's mom, she will make a nice fish head curry out of it! lots on offer, lots to see. all kinds of seafood cheap as can be! 3 crabs for 7.50 quid?? fillets of cod at various sizes and various prices. the ones we bought were 8 quid per kg. fresh as fresh can be, sea bass, great looking turbot, even grouper! lobsters, scallops with roe(with or without shell), squid, smoked salmon, fresh salmon, monk fish, prawns, sea snails etc. the market was relatively clean but wet. most fishes are not gutted but you do get some stalls selling gutted ones. take your time to go from stall to stall before committing your purchase. some stalls are fresher, others are cheaper! there are also 2 cafes on site. one right by the entrance and another at the opposite end. we dropped in at the one at the other end after our fishy exploits. small cosy little cafe offering full english breakfast! the walls are framed with interesting photos of people who have visited. we shared the mix grill breakfast( baked beans, grilled tomatoes, chips, beef pattie with grilled onions, sausage, bacon, egg, toast and coffee, 5.50 quid) and a haddock breakfast( haddock, 2 poached eggs, toast and coffee, 7 quid). good for 4 persons! additional tea was only 50p each. not quite your tsukiji fish market but certainly billed as the largest fish market in london!
