Bread, Meat, Fish, Mexican food. My favourite stall is Posh Pickles who do jams from fruit from this country, mango chutney and all sorts of pickles. This month I bought Lemon Grass and Ginger Jelly. their Caribbean Marmalade is to die for. The man with the Mexican food stall, does gorgeous Cornbread. He saves a loaf for me each month, because my friend is alergic to wheat. The latest improvement is cornbread with sultanas in it. The bread stall has types of bread which I had never heard of. my favourite is her Walnut loaf, 2nd her Date bread. The meat is sourced from north Cumbria. Occasionally one of the local breweries bring a range of their bottled beers. Even if you don't buy much the market is fun to visit. I'll update this if the stalls change.

This is a tiny stall, tucked away next to The Crumbly Cheese (see my review on that if you like…read morecheese) Although small, the shop carries a wide range of fresh fish and they also stock ready frozen fish as well, ideal if want quality prawns in your freezer. The staff are great and will happily gut, scale and fillet fish to your requirements. They do tend to sell up, so if it is something in particular you require, then call there first and get your order in. The prices are reasonable for the quality of fish you are buying and it always fresh. Worth a visit if you enjoy good fish.

Great little independent fishmonger in Cleveleys. The produce is beautifully presented and always…read morelooks fresh and appealing. They will happily fillet, scale and skin the fish and also cut it to your requirements. So much nicer than the fish you find in supermarkets. I make a special trip to Cleveleys for it if I'm putting fish on the menu. Recommended!

If you're like me and love eating seafood, B Shrigley & Son is a superb place to buy your fish…read more This is a fabulous fishmongers in Liverpool because they offer some of the freshest catches from cod, halibut, haddock, shellfish and shrimps. You can often tell just by observation that their fish hasn't been sat around for ages which is always a good indication it is fresh; there is nothing worse than the opposite. The fishmongers are more than willing to help if you need any advice or special requirements. Their knowledge and experience is priceless, so make sure you make the most out of your visit!

It's a real treat to eat freshly prepared fish and although it's getting more and more difficult to…read morefind a real fishmonger, look no further, B Shrigley and Son are just the best. There is nothing like the smell of a fishmongers, it just hits you! B Shrigley and Son have a huge choice of fish products including cod, halibut, crab, lobster and oysters. No more frozen fish. The staff are very friendly and helpful (giving advice if you aren't too sure about different types of fish) and if you can't find what you want they are good at sourcing it (within reason and season).

After poking at the scraps at the local supermarket the other day I said to myself..I need to find…read morea fish monger! The closest one open to me was here. It's been a year since I set foot in the Arndale and longer still since bought anything from here so I was a but apprehensive. Circling around the counter like a shark I was super excited with their selection. Everything looked fresh and tasty despite what the negative comments say. We were served very quickly despite it starting to be quite busy and she was lovely. For £40 we walked away with 1kg of tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, 180g of scallops, 5 rock oysters and 3 red snappers.. ..I usually spend that on sushi alone.. Overall staff were attentive, paid attention to hygiene i.e cleaning hands every time they touched a fishy, wore masks and had great produce. Yes I will be back after me any my kitties devour this stash.

This is a really unbelievable fishmonger. I'm sure it is the widest selection of fish and seafood…read moreavailable in Manchester and beyond. Its closest competitor is the smaller but more quaint fishery in Didsbury, Evans Fish, but for me this place tops it through the sheer selection offered at excellent prices. When you enter the room, just alongside the Arndale Food Market, you will be literally astounded. There are literally hundreds of fish on offer. You may also be scared, as some of them are huge and have really scary faces. They have everything you can imagine from cod and haddock through sea bream and jon dory to trout and mackerel. Apart from the fish they have crabs, including some blue one with patterns on their backs worthy of an art gallery. They have prawns, ranging from the very tiny to the absolutely huge. One type of prawn is so big you would honestly only want one per person. They also have oysters, which are an alarming 85p per one. They have mussels. They even have cod roe and caviar. The prices are all unbelievable, often £2 per fish or three for a fiver. They also do 'fish pie mix' which has chunks of white fish, salmon and smoked fish in, for two quid or so. Basically if you like fish, this is the best place in the world.

I think that's the best way of seeing whether a chippy is decent or not. You always have to wait for your food but that is because everything is so fresh. They offer a great range of traditional fish and chip fare with chinese and kebabs as well. The fish is always fresh and huge, the chips are gorgeous and on the one occasion I had a chicken kebab - nom! It was gorgeous. Fresh salad and good sauces. It's not over priced as some chippys are nowadays and the staff are always friendly. Highly recommended indeed

You don't survive for more than 700 years without reinventing yourself. And the venerable…read moreAltrincham Market, granted its Royal Charter in 1290, has brilliantly reinvented itself in recent years. Gone are the many stalls with dodgy barrow boys selling seconds and knockoffs. Whilst the quality stalls, including the outstanding fishmongers and cheese shop, have remained and been been joined by a fine range of new vendors. Different days have a different focus, with lots of arts and crafts, and live music on many days. It's more like the farmers markets near my home in San Francisco than the Alty market I grew up with. Two things make it much better than a California farmers market: it's open every day (except Wednesday) and it has the splendid Market House food hall. The Market House is a beautiful yet functional conversion of the old Victorian market hall. Light floods in through skylights 20 foot overhead, adding to the spacious feel of a hall filled with 100 plus people. Around the outside are more than half a dozen food vendors, including pizza, steak, beer, wine and pies. Visiting on a wet Tuesday I had no problem finding seats for two at 7pm but it soon filled up. If you want a seat without waiting then you need to get there early doors. I got a couple of beers from Jack in the Box, the outstanding real ale bar, plus a steak and ale pie, with mash and gravy, from the Great Northern Pie Company. The food was so good I've reviewed it separately: suffice to say it was a great pie. My mate got a burger from The Tender Cow, the steak house. This took at least half an hour to arrive--long enough for me to finish my meal while the servers came out to apologize three times. Once the burger arrived it got full marks for taste. We had a second pint but did not linger long after eating. We didn't want to hog our space when so many people were looking for a seat. One final plus point: the market is dog friendly and we saw several dogs lying besides tables. But I have to say that's the only way in which Altrincham Market has gone to the dogs.

On a blustery winter day a visit to the market was the perfect escape. Plenty of food vendors and…read morestalls or pop into one of the nearby restaurants and wine bars on the row. Will be back!
