But it also has a few picnic tables our front where you can sit and eat some of the local seafood fare. I went for a sensible prawn cocktail, which was delicious. Served with some fresh crispy salad and some brown bread, it rocked. My partner went for the cold platter, which in hindsight was really a sharing platter, because it was huge! He loved it, but I had to help him eat it, as we didn't want to leave any of it behind. I had a few mussels the first time in my life and they tasted great. I've not had any mussels since, for fear they wont be near as nice. If I am ever back in the area I am going to make sure we get back to Britannia Shell Fish for some yummy seafood. The guy serving us was a nice rocker dude, who chatted to my partner about the rock tee shirt he was wearing. Turned out, he had been to same rock festival that year. Oh almost forgot, their coffee was pretty good too.

There is A LOT of fish to walk past. However, that just means that there's a really good selection of fish. I, obviously, don't eat fish. But I went to buy some the other day because I was trying to make a meal for my boyfriend, who loves seafood. (Incidentally, it didn't go well - but it's the thought that counts, right? He helped and it was all good in the end!) But the fishmonger man was very helpful, especially when I explained that I had no clue what I was doing. I personally wouldn't go back, just because I think I've proved to myself that I'm not a fish cook. But the experience was very good (after I got over the disgust at seeing all the fish faces staring at me) with regards to customer service and quality.

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.

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.

I liked fish fingers, fish cakes and tuna from a can. I didn't like seeing my mother prepare proper fish with their fishy scales and their bones and those eyes, especially the eyes. I became vegetarian. Today the fish eyes don't bother me so much, and I am an avid believer in buying local and prefer my flesh eating friends to source better meat and fish, and eat less often. I am not alone. This is one of the reasons that Ashton's thrives. They sell great fresh fish of a wide variety and you can buy it right in the heart of Cardiff. Not ALL of it is local, mind: 'Fish and shellfish is sourced from every fishing port in the UK. Fresh fish is also purchased from various parts of the world, including Alaska, Norway, Chile, Saudi Arabia and Seychelles. The company will also mail order the Welsh delicacy lavarbread.' So if these things bother you, check first. It is one of the largest fish retail outlets in the United Kingdom, employing around 25 staff and their other catering supply business supplies many of the major hotels and restaurants in the Cardiff area. They should know what they are doing too, Ashton's set up shop way back in 1800 and has been in the Central Market since 1890. As well as fish, Ashton's also sell poultry and game. During the game season, wild boar, kangaroo, ostrich, emu, pheasants, partridge, grouse, wild duck and rabbits are available. You can see a full stoclist for fish, shellfish and meat on their website. They also list loads of recipes on their site, here's their one for Smoky Topped Fish Ingredients 4 x 170g (6oz) thick coley or cod fillet, fresh or frozen salt and blackpepper knob of butter dash lime or lemon juice 60g (2oz) cheese, grated 4 rashers of grilled bacon, chopped slices of lemon, to garnish Method Preheat the grill Place the fish onto a lightly greased grill pan. Season. Dot with the butter and sprinkle with lime or lemon juice. Grill for 8-10 minutes (15-20 if frozen). Sprinkle with the cheese and top with bacon. Return to the grill and continue to cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Serve with stir fry vegetables. Serves 4 Hungry? You know where to go.

It's all about the local, seasonal and organic food and drink. My mum took me here after a spot of shopping. According to her when it first opened it was filled with what looked like 'do-gooder' middle-class hippies but when we went in it was filled with a mix of people. So the word seems to be spreading that it's a good spot for a cuppa in a bright space. Mum had a reasonable coffee and I had a hot ginger beer (if it's on the menu I find it hard to have anything else) and we shared a teacake, which was apparently made by 'Emma'. So, thank you Emma for a wonderfully delicious teacake! Bread that doesn't get eaten in the cafe before it's a bit too stale goes to feed some pigs. Cool, eh? The cafe has a nice feel to it - you feel like you could take screaming kids or your gran and it would all be good. The produce downstairs is a bit expensive for me but if you're a middle-class, middle-aged hippy then it'll be right up your street. If you're a 20-something struggling to get a good job, like me, then you can buy a one-off bit of cheese, but don't expect to do your weekly shop.
