You have to get as early as possible even a few minutes before they open if you want to get the good stuff, sometimes even the first tube can get there a bit too late. The biggest mistake you can make is to go to the market without wearing old shoes & clothes, the ground is full of water/ice & the smell will stick to your clothes for a while. Finally, when you get in make sure you do a full circle of the place and keep your ears open for the offers.

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.

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.

If you're an avid fish eater and you appreciate the difference between cargo fish (that reaches the supermarket days or even weeks later) and the freshly caught variety, you have to visit Brighton & Newhaven Fish Sales in Shoreham Harbour (next to Hove Lagoon). This shop is a new addition, in fact just a year old, yet the company has more than 250 years' heritage in the fishing industry here in Brighton. You can even see the boats behind the shop that land fish to the market within hours of capture, ensuring that fish and shellfish are of the highest quality and freshness. Some of the choices on offer include Dover Sole, Plaice, Lemon Sole, Brill, Turbot, Cod, Squid, Cuttle Fish, Bream, Red Mullet, Sea Bass and Crab, Lobster, Mussels, Clams, Oysters and Scallops. The team here are some of the most professional and helpful I've ever encountered to boot, offering advice and cooking instructions if you're a little unclear. If you like fish that melts like butter in your mouth and you don't mind paying a little more for the high quality, supremely fresh produce, I urge you to pay a visit.

The butchers are very friendly, know their stuff and seem to like questions and recommendation requests. These chaps do trade/industry customers, but the store front is based on the busy walk up business by regular customers like you and me. You get a far shorter supply chain without the mass processing centres (and what can go along with that), and the meat sold here is handpicked by an expert butcher and cut in-store which delivers superior quality meat. They have a large selection of meats, and not all of it is on display, so ask if you don't see it. As you can imagine, cutting out several 'middle-men' also means all those saved margins are passed onto you. They also do sell small portions, if you want a skirt of beef, or two t-bone steaks, a single medium chicken, etc. But I've always bought in bulk (2-5kg), then divided it into single meal portions and then into the freezer, and suggest this for maximum savings and minimal trips to Smithfield Butchers. For example, large, good quality skinless, boneless chicken breasts here cost about the same as the basic brands of big name grocers which are small, pumped full of water and inferior quality. The 'steak meats' (e.g. rib eye, fillets, sirloin) are about half the price of big name grocers, and since you're buying a 1-4kg slab, you can cut your steak as thick as you want! Some of the best steaks I've had came from Smithfield Butchers, and the best Christmas Turkey ever! If you can make it to Smithfield Meat Market, this one is a no-brainer.
