I am trying to track down a fishmonger near to where I live (Berkshire / Surrey / Hants border), but am having no luck. I've tried yell.com, but failed there too.

I've looked at the fresh fish counter in Tesco, but as this fish will be for sushi, I am concerned about the quality and level of freshness. Am I right to be concerned, or will it be fine?

I had a quick look at online seafood websites yesterday - not in any great detail yet, but I suppose this is another option.

Any tips, advice or ideas would be much appreicated.

Thanks

I wish we had a proper fighmonger locally.

At the two stores i buy my fish at in Waitrose and Morrisons, the best days to buy fish are thur/fri

that is when the fish is typically,, fresh in,,,like when the seabass are shiny and have nice bloody glls

I would get talking to your Tesco fishmonger. make freinds. Tell him you want some fish for sushi,,and he should be able to order whaterver fish u want.,,just give him 2-3 days notice.

Thats what i do when i want something uber fresh or more exotic

I know it's difficult to find a fishmonger. I buy my fish at my local Morrisons in Liverpool the fish always looks so fresh.The staff are really helpful. One of the staff use to have his own shops I would just ask him, and I know I would get good advise So look for your nearest Morrisons.
