Ask for the sort of fish or seafood you want and chances are they'll find it in what looks like a battered kitchen fridge at the back. I bought the best prawns I have ever tasted here - a bag of gigantic frozen things that were incredibly delicious. The people who run it are always ready with a warm welcome and are very helpful indeed. It's a real treat to shop here as the quality is so good.

Well well well. What to say. I LOVE this place and it is always on the top of my agenda when I…read morevisit home. Nothing beats coming home to the North East than a load of freshly caught fish from the North Sea. Actually, let me rephrase that...Latimers used to be a small family run fish business where you could only buy what was caught the night before but now it has expanded and you can buy a whole array of fish. Fishing just off the coast still takes place though - so don't be disheartened. You can ask which fish has been caught locally. Apart from the really friendly staff, who are extremely knowledgeable about all of their fish (including how to cook it, what would taste nice with it etc) the shop and cafe is laid out in a welcoming way. You can either buy your fish from the counter to take away or sit in and try one of their delicious platters....Look at my photo of the crab platter (which was 14 pound!!!). It was incredible. This place is an absolute must for all fish lovers.

Visited Latimers recently whilst enjoying the wonderful NE Coastline…read more This place is really quite special and is very attractively laid out with a great variety of fresh fish and lovely fayre. It has a Cafe, but this is closed at the moment, what a shame! My Mother spent a small fortune and we all agreed that everything was lovely and fresh as well as tasty and impressive. We were robbed though, the prices were well over the top and the place was somewhat pretentious. A couple of mentions on TV and in the Press have clearly gone to ones head! worth a visit if you are feeling rich we felt(

The choice is endless for example they have a tank of live lobsters, every type of shellfish, local fish and exotic. On my last visit I bought razer clams, lobster and john Dory.

Not pre-packed, but fresh from the quayside. Fine fish is just the start though.... There is an amazing selection of fresh fruit and veg. It's perfect for all the seasonal and local produce anyone could want. It is convenient for lots of all the basics, like milk, cheeses, eggs, drinks and store cupboard foods tins and packets. Then the are the 'special extras'. The best kind of lucky dip is available for the taking - Quirky, different, unusual foods sit alongside some of the usual premium brands. Maybe they are sometimes classed a seconds, but hey hey, it all tastes the same whether it has the flashy packaging or not! I for one would rather have the extra £pounds in my pocket than squashed down cardboard in my recycling bin Homemade sandwiches, salads, hot drinks and even complete hot meals are also available. There's a full roast dinner on Sundays too. Outside catering completes the package! The menus are all really affordable and makes for great parties and celebrations. This place is definitely worth a visit

My personal favourite place to buy meat, veggies and bread…read more Big barn type market in the centre of Newcastle. Numerous stalls that offer all types of different services. Numerous award winning butchers that offer prime cuts of meat, fantastic mince and healthy plump chickens and eggs! Wonderful bakery that makes the best breads and pastry I have tried. Wonderful vegetables and fruit stands where you get can a serious deal on great vegetables. Cheapest and most authentic pick and mix selection I have ever seen Fish monger, show repair, tea shop, cafes, clothing and boot sale, cd shops, home repair, clothing alterations ... Even a room with a scale in it! Grainger Market is magical. A must see, I consider the market a tourist attraction because of how traditional it is. The people in the booths all seem very authentic and very helpful.

I was used to markets being places with cheap tat and someone with a thick Black Country accent yelling from a van about sausages, and it's just definitely not like that here. There are still veggies, butchers (and decent cheeses to boot), but there are some seriously talented craftspeople too. It's good for a look around even if you don't feel like buying anyth8ng, odds are you probably will end up doing so.

Their own Oak Roast Salmon is the best I've ever had and the Oak-Roast Salmon Pate is truly amazing.

This should be one of the UK's most outstanding seafood 'emporiums'…read more It has a large selection of fresh and frozen fish as well as loads of stuff to go with them - sauces, pickles, mustards there is even a wine section. What lets it down is the slightly aloof attitude of the staff who never seem terribly happy to serve you and the idea of banter with these people is almost unheard of. Produce is almost begrudgingly sold. The quality of the produce is without question - they keep live lobsters here so you know how fresh they are. It's worth a visit as they sell almost everything (no frozen baby squid though! Shame as these are readily available in Leeds market!). Could do much better, and not a patch on most of the stalls selling fish in Leeds market - see my other reviews for that.
