"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!

I am so happy I found this store! I was so tired of the supermarket fish I was actually thinking…read moreabout going to the Billingsgate Fish Market myself. But now I dont have to because the guys of Holloway Fisheries bring you a lot of fresh fish, straight from the ocean (via Billingsate Fish Market ;-) ) for a reasonable price. No posh counter, just the fish in styrofoam boxes and ice. Happy to sell you just one fish or a whole lot and happy to clean the fish as you like it (pan ready). What they have on offer changes daily and depends on what they expect to sell. So for sushi quality tuna you better try on Thursday or Friday early in the day because these are the days they sell this the most (to restaurants). Cash only, but there is a cash machine on the opposite side of the road. They are the first shop at the entrance of the market.

Holloway fisheries is probably the best fishmonger in the immediate area. We found this place to be…read morequite the surprise as they serve fresh fish, octopus, squid and shellfish at a far better quality that the local supermarkets (which its next to). I've been here a few times and always bought the seafood for the paella I always cook for the annual BBQ (and yes it's always a hit!). I can buy enough to feed 15 for around £15 (squid, king prawn, mussels) with a typical largish fish at about £3-4 though these are more much bigger than their supermarket equivalents. If you ask them they will also happily clean and prepare the fish for you. They even have fish heads if you want to make a stock. Apart from the paella ingredients I've also bought red snapper and scallops without any complaints. The great service and a decent range means that I will always come here and it certainly beats an early morning trek to Billingsgate.

I live pretty near Billingsgate. Have done for about 8 years. I've been once. I went for an article I was writing and had a great time (met a fisherman who hated fish - go figure), but once was enough for me. I do not do well with 6am starts. And the last thing I feel like pre-coffee is buying seafood. But I like cooking. I like making tasty things. I like having fresh food that didn't cost the earth in the supermarket (although my local fishmonger is also awesome). I basically want all the good stuff, delivered to my door. Marky Market does that. Not just to your door, but to your office too. I live so close to Billingsgate that I'd have had a very early wake-up call (Mark starts his day at 2:30 am - I'm not even asleep by then a lot of the time). So Qype laughed at me when I got half a kilo of samphire delivered to their office. I made tasty salads with crayfish for a party, everyone was impressed. Even shared some in the pub with some other Qypers. They were happy too. I'll use Marky Market for any special occasion. If you don't like early starts and you like tasty food, you should too.

I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!

Lovely local fishmonger that Brookmans Park as a village is lucky to have…read more Brookmans Park is a small place and these guys cater for their audience (and regular returning customers) - so while the selection isn't huge it's always fresh and consistent to season. And, if there's something specific you want, just tell them and order it in advance - especially for more exotic / less traditional stuff. I've had to do that with swordfish in the past. I don't even know where the next nearest fishmonger is - probably St Albans - so this is a real local gem. It's also discreetly nestled away at the end of the parade on Bradmore Green and I know people who have lived in Brookmans Park for years who don't even know it's there!! As I say, Brookmans Park is lucky. Couple of tips: 1. If you really want something specific order in advance (but you're fine to pop in for stuff like cod loin, salmon, sea bass, tuna etc etc). 2. Check the opening times as they shut around 4pm.
