Bradley's Fish Factory
Story
We are a third-generation family business with a passion for quality, value for money and care for customer service. We know about fish!
R. Bradley (Feltham) Ltd was established in 1946 by Frank Bradley (senior) and his wife Anne, selling jellied eels from a barrow in Feltham. Over 69 years later, our family run business is supplying fish all over England from our new premises. Today in our factory shop we stock over two hundred different products – selling fresh and frozen seafood to the general public, shops and restaurants. Our website allows us to open our freezers to you – virtually! We keep our prices low because we can buy in bulk and sell to you directly, without compromising on quality.
Since the mid 1990s Bradleys’ have been supplying the major high street supermarkets across Great Britain with over 15,000 pots and bowls of our famous jellied eels. Every week we made sure to have a consistent, reliable delivery mechanism and the highest quality products!
We always attempt to purchase from sustainable and well-managed fish stocks whether caught in the wild or from responsibly farmed so you can enjoy eating our products with a clear conscience.

The Fish Society
Story
We are a small company with 10 employees in Wormley, England. Wormley is forty miles from the sea and a hundred miles from the nearest fishing port, but it’s where I lived when I decided to start The Fish Society nearly 25 years ago. And it’s where fish arrives every morning, despatched by our 150 suppliers the day before via the UK’s very efficient fish delivery network. Fish landed and auctioned on Day 1 in Cornwall, The Hebrides, Aberdeen and Norfolk, and indeed in the big French port of Boulogne is processed and frozen by us on Day 2.
All our fish (bar a few specialist items such as caviar) is frozen. We believe that fish frozen quickly after landing is indistinguishable from fresh fish when it is cooked and on the plate. And indeed superior to the defrosted fish presented as fresh in supermarkets. And by insisting on freezing all our fish, we are able to offer the widest possible range at all times. I am sure that no other company in the world offers such a huge range as ours.

Fish For Thought
Story
Twelve Years ago, Fish for Thought was essentially two hard-working men, a Portakabin, some knives, a fridge and a van – committed to finding a better way to deliver our remarkable Cornish seafood!
We wanted to marry the expertise and personal service of a traditional fishmonger, with the speed and convenience of online shopping and direct delivery.
Our journey so far has been a roller-coaster for sure, but thanks to our amazing customers and the hard work and dedication of our team, we are making great progress, but still have a long way to go.
Every day, we want to inspire more people to cook and enjoy incredible seafood and a happy, healthy lifestyle.
We would love you to join our Seafood Revolution!

Fishbox
Story
Fishbox was started by accident, a motorcycle accident! Magnus Houston swapped his leathers for oilskins and started his mission to get Scotland's top quality fish to the nation in under 48 hours of being landed.
The former motorbike racer had to end his professional career with Suzuki because of a crash and, after a trip in a friend’s creel boat, decided to buy his own, catching lobster and crab off the Easter Ross coast.
But he was frustrated that much of the produce was bought up and sent to the European markets.
So in 2011, backed by the Prince's Trust, he set up Coast & Glen in Inverness, a wholesale business that supplied local restaurant and hotels with fish and seafood landed by local fishermen.
While that was successful, it soon became apparent that there was also demand from individual consumers for high-quality produce, caught locally and sustainably, and governed by the season, rather than the fish which is sold through the supertrawler-supermarket route, which may be cheaper…but tastes cheaper.
And so Fishbox was born, offering a convenient, nutritious and fun way to eat more fish and seafood.
