I had no idea about this place until it was recommended as there is not really any decent Asian…read moreshops nearby unless you go into Stratford where there's a Loon Fung. Getting here you really need a car as it is not idealistic to take public transit since there's not a station nearby. This is a massive warehouse. The front area has a small produce selection, massive frozen choices and some dry goods on the other side. The back side mainly consists of bulk items for those that run shops. It's highly recommended to come earlier because according to some friends, there have been days where just about everything was out of stock. So do be aware of this. There's a selection of vegetables, tofus, meats, desserts in the fresh produce. The frozen section is incredibly massive and has just about everything you are looking for! Dumplings, cakes, meats, fish balls of all sorts, etc. The dry goods have a nice variety of noodles, sauces, spices and snacks! As of right now they are rather short on staff so the queue is a pretty long at the moment! Overall pretty good first impression since I came and everything is well stocked. Definitely a place to check out!

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!

We were looking for a place to have a coffee after walking around Epping Forest, when we saw this…read morefood trucky place in the backyard of a pub. They had a wide range of seafood at the counter that they were cooking to order and the prices seemed very reasonable. There was a constant stream of locals coming over to pick up takeaways. We tried the coffee which was a disappointment. Tasted whelks for the first time (not impressed), but the freshly cooked piri piri prawns were supposedly very good. There's a range of sauces on a ledge that allow you to spice up and flavour the seafood and they have some standard sauces that they cook with - garlic, piri piri, tandoori that I remember. In this chilly weather, I'd recommend the hot dishes rather than the cold ones.

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.
