Fresh fish - Brighton area / Sussex

[Slim Slawson]

Having recently moved to sunny West Sussex, am impressed with the farmshops, markets, local produce etc on offer, but am yet to find a good fishmonger closeby. I'm not actually on the coast (Burgess Hill) but am close enough, so any suggestions as to where to find them? Would rather avoid Brighton, if poss.....

Thanks in advance

This isn't exactly close but the best one I can think of is Monteum Ltd, Fishermans Wharf, Brighton Road, Shoreham By Sea 01273 463014.

Again, this is in Brighton - well, Hove actually.

Brighton and Newhaven Fish Sales, or BNFS for short, can be found just past Hove Lagoon: South Quay, Basin Road South, Aldrington Basin Tel 01273 430646.

They supply a good chunk of Brighton restaurants (including us) and have a thriving retail shop with a very good selection. Worth a trip to try them out. Website www.brighton-fish-sales.co.uk

BNFS is good.

As is La Poissonnerie at Fishermans Wharf Brighton Road, SHOREHAM-BY-SEA, West Sussex, BN43 6RN. Big selection plus tanks for live crab and lobster.

Also Sea Haze on Brighton seafront - Kings Road Arches in the fishing quarter not far from Palace Pier. Small place but fantastically fresh mostly locally caught by his partner out of Newhaven. He also supplies local restaurants.

Once you've found them you won't be disappointed with the selection or quality on offer in the Brighton area.
