These…read moreguys stock fresh and frozen fish from around the world from cod and salmon to more exotic species like red grouper. If you fancy something more interesting than "white fish fillets" for your dinner, you are in for a treat. The Birmingham Indoor Markets is great for meat, fish and poultry, but I have used these guys many a time and not been disappointed. From your basic stuff like Mackerel to your more expensive seafoods - chances are you'll be able to find what you're looking for here. The guys clearly label their produce (so you know the cost before you buy) and you can get set amounts, rather than pre-packaged - so you can buy exactly what you need. They're friendly, helpful, have great produce and will offer advice on their stock. If you go towards the end of the day, you might be able to snap up a bargain too. If you're looking for great quality fish and you're watching your pennies, give these guys a go!

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. Selection as well is second to none, it was like all the characters from Finding Nemo where there for you to select and eat!

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.

Taste is not known as a seafood distributor for nothing. Fat prawns and tuna steaks, pollock fillets and whole salmon nestle in the ice counter fresh as fresh can be. They even smoke their own fish on the premises - delish and really not that pricey (although other produce can be). Meat is local and lush - Mendip lamb being a yummy example. There are also eggs and vegetable produce, as well as interesting breads supplied by Hobbs House bakery. There are also many organic or ethically sourced products, including a really good cheese selection, as well as a stock of organic wines. The best thing I ate from there was a feta, sundried tomato and tapenade pastry - heaven in filo. There is also an endless variety of weird and wonderful chutneys, jams and sauces, and lots of sweet things and cakes. Mmm mmm. On a Saturday they do a luxury tastind day with all sorts of delectable tidbits for free (although I challenge you to leave without buying a basketful of produce). Oooh almost forgot, the home-smoked garklic is so incredibly useful for mayo, roasts, stews, pizzas, pasta sauces - it just adds another dimension to cooking and as far as I'm aware you can't buy better anywhere else in or near the city.

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.
