Cornish Fishermen
At Wing of St. Mawes "The Cornish Fishmonger" we value our fishermen and their commitment to delivering fresh fish and seafood from a sustainable source on a daily basis. We tend to buy our fish from the same boats when they land; we know their working practices and, where they fish and how they keep their fish.The Cornish Fishmonger buys its fish, shellfish and seafood from many sources, including the three Cornish quayside fish markets, this includes Plymouth as lots of Cornish fish is landed and offered for sale from the port.
We also have special relationships with some fishermen who we get on really well with and, land great fish! See below for some specific information about these fishermen.
