Sue and I work abroad and use Martins to send fish to her mother. The potted shrimps are her favourtite. When I visit Cornwaal I always call in for shrimps, crab and a variety of other fish. I have never been disappointed with the quality if the fish. Every on on site is happy and cheerful and make you feel like one of the family.

Martins Seafresh are priceless!

Friendly personal service. Always ready with helpful advice but only if asked which is a plus in my book. Fresh fish despatched quickly and without fuss. Everything I've ever had from Martins has been top quality. Well done, Barbara.

The fish we get delivered twice a month is fresh, nicely cut / filleted and good value for what it is and beats the local fish monger hands down.

Snash01 Snash01 Posted 09 Aug 2007 2:18 PM

Very helpful. Always willing to assist with queries. Fish is excellent quality, never been disappointed. Nice to receive newsletters from them advising you of the best times to buy certain items. I have to buy additional dressed crabs for other family members, they love them.

Excellent selection of fresh sea products, always packed to ensure a safe passage to my address, and good quality. Prices very competitive with our local supermarkets.

masjoe masjoe Posted 05 Aug 2007 7:56 PM

We have been really impressed with the service and enthusiaism from this company. We have lots of fresh fish and happily serve it to our 3 year old who has had the chance to taste a whole range of frsh fish - the prawns are amazing

Nourse Nourse Posted 26 Jul 2007 7:06 PM

Martins fish - is the best in the West. In all of the East, their price is the least. Sea fresh to the North, sea fresh to the South. This online bonanza brings delight to the mouth.

noisy1 noisy1 Posted 17 Jul 2007 9:39 PM

Quality produce delivered when you require it !!!!

HOBBSIE HOBBSIE Posted 17 Jul 2007 5:28 PM

Excellent in every way. Quality fish and shell fish, delivered when you want it. Cheaper than many other online suppliers and you can't beat them for freshness. Customer service second to none.

The Old Tart The Old Tart Posted 16 Jul 2007 9:45 PM

The care they take in selecting only the best really does show up when you open the lid. It really could not be any fresher, and the dressed crabs are to die for!

gbisbb gbisbb Posted 16 Jul 2007 4:55 PM

Just recovering from a weekend of whitebait, brill and crab - all excellent. With sea bass and tuna in the freezer, the week is looking good. All delivered when requested, top quality fish, top quality service, what more do you want ? Use Martin's Seafresh - it makes sense if you want the best.

russb russb Posted 16 Jul 2007 4:42 PM

Excellent fresh fish, well packed and reasonably priced. Never let us down - and there brown crab meat is a dream.

talkinhead talkinhead Posted 16 Jul 2007 9:58 AM

Truly excellent quality fish at affordable prices and a very reliable and efficient delivery service. add to this a real passion for the produce and in a time of supermarket domination you have a true food hero

This company is very busy, and when i lost my order number and got my delivery date wrong, the sorted it out for me......very fresh, wonderful white crab meat....excellent service and products... Mrs John....Middlesbrough..

annettejohn annettejohn Posted 16 Jul 2007 8:32 AM

We have shopped with Martins for a couple of years now and no longer buy any fish locally. The fish tastes fresher, the price is almost compatible with the local shops and the service and communication is excellent. The polystyrene boxes are all lining planters and pots! Keep up the good work Jeff!

Maksipup Maksipup Posted 16 Jul 2007 7:58 AM

Family atmosphere nothing too much. trouble.professional excellent quality first rate company

armlesswine armlesswine Posted 16 Jul 2007 6:32 AM

I live in the USA and although Martin's seafresh haven't sent ME anything in the mail, I have used their web site several times for sending presents to family for birthdays, mother's day, father's day etc. They have wonderful products and GREAT customer service and I am so glad I found them.

Gusty1951 Gusty1951 Posted 15 Jul 2007 11:53 PM

Excellent quality fresh fish. Martin's Seafresh has never let me down. Delivery is also very quick. A big thumbs up!

clat clat Posted 15 Jul 2007 11:27 PM

I have used Martins via the internet you get the best value and what you require I live five miles away from Fleetwood were there are many fishmongers but Martins are better

andynchris andynchris Posted 22 Jun 2007 6:45 PM

I wouldn't buy fish anywhere else in London, not even in the best supermarkets. Short of going to Billingsgate at the crack of dawn, nothing beats the freshness and quality of the fish delivered. You just know when you open the box: fish has an amazing colour and translucency you don't see on the fish counters, and a lovely smell, not at all fishy. The service is very good too.

LotteOsvig LotteOsvig Posted 11 Jun 2007 12:36 PM

I cannot recommend them more strongly - excellent quality, excellent service.

tsmith.beacon tsmith.beacon Posted 11 Jun 2007 12:18 PM

I discovered Martin's Seafresh about a year ago. Since then I have ordered a wide variety of products from them - all of which have been superb and well worth the price. Their web site is very user friendly and their regular Newsletter is both informative and entertaining.

John3373 John3373 Posted 11 Jun 2007 9:47 AM

I've been using Martin's for regular deliveries of fish for over 2 years now, and I complement them on superb fresh fish and an excellent service!

Unknownsock Unknownsock Posted 30 Mar 2007 10:56 AM

Excellent fish, excellent price, excellent customer service. Brilliant newsletter makes you feel like you know them personally and is very informative.

sussey sussey Posted 26 Sep 2006 2:44 PM

To me, flavour and freshness are paramount with seafood and Martin's Seafresh supplies the freshest you will ever get when you live in the landlocked Midlands, like me, and fresher than much of the fish you can purchase near the sea. The flavour of the produce is every bit as good as the best you can get if you travel to the sea - both here and abroad. Martin's Seafresh deserve every success and I look forward to purchasing excellent fresh fish from them for a long time to come.

richard c richard c Posted 24 Sep 2006 4:03 PM

Their personal touch in making sure that you receive precisely what you want. The freshness of the fish is second only to catching it yourself as you receive it the day after it's been caught.

Lesley-Anne925 Lesley-Anne925 Posted 01 Sep 2006 5:06 PM

Exceptional fish at exceptional prices!

Leeb839 Leeb839 Posted 28 Jul 2006 11:21 AM

Great family business. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I had a problem with a delivery which was delayed. It was sorted out and replaced within 24 hours. Great value for money, and no, we are not related,(as far as I am aware).

JoanE JoanE Posted 28 Jul 2006 7:02 AM

The gurnard are great and so are the lobsters. Supermarket fish doesn't even come close. Jackie

parisrosiers parisrosiers Posted 14 Jul 2006 6:36 PM

Fast and efficient service providing fresh fish at a fair price. Well it could always be cheaper I suppose. They have never let us down even tho' we have had problems with their carriers in the past. The best place to buy fish frozen or fresh in the area!

Tony 3 Tony 3 Posted 11 Jul 2006 11:04 AM

superb product knowledge, fresh product from the boats, delivery anywhere in the country, fantastic and very pleasant service. Great newsletters. Geoff and his team make you feel valued and always sell the very best quality.

Twig 1 Twig 1 Posted 10 Jul 2006 10:24 AM

Living in Cambridge we are as far from the sea as is possible. Jeff Martin sends us really fresh fish far and away superior to anything brought to the local markets from the east coast. The service is excellent and reliable

bohuslav bohuslav Posted 10 Jul 2006 10:22 AM

Excellent newsletters and service

Mr. Horti Mr. Horti Posted 10 Jul 2006 6:54 AM

Jeff & Barbara Martin are two of the friendliest people I have dealt with. What I love is the personal service. If there's a problem they phone me. They have never sent me anything they wouldn't serve themselves and I have been dealing with them for over 5 years, probably near to ten. They deserve to be recognised for making good fresh fish easy to get hold of. Even my kids love their fish and that's not bad praise at all.

teejaybee teejaybee Posted 09 Jul 2006 9:36 PM

Have been using martins for two years now. Excellent service and quality produce. Steve de, Daventry

Excellent service, best fish & shellfish available

actionfrank actionfrank Posted 08 Jul 2006 12:07 AM

I'm not a big fish eater as most of what you buy in supermarkets is rubbery but since the first delivery from Martins seafresh i'm hooked the taste is wonderful and the service is first class.

Annie T Annie T Posted 07 Jul 2006 8:47 PM

bob 07-07-06 8-20pm Atlast eating good quality fresh fish thanks to martins.

bob 2 bob 2 Posted 07 Jul 2006 8:19 PM

The regular newsletter is friendly and helpful, the website is easy to use and I never get bombarded with mails trying to get me to buy. The fish is superb - real fish, not the tasteless stuff you get from the supermarket - and it is delivered at your convenience and arrives exactly as promised. Good Luck Jeff - you deserve to win as yours is the only food delivery service I would recommend.

Ellaminnow Ellaminnow Posted 07 Jul 2006 2:49 PM

Martins provided all the sea food for my wedding. They made sure that it was delivered to the middle of no where, ontime, as fresh as possible, and the quality was out standing. The variety and service cannot be beaten There regular new letters that keep you up to date with what fish is fresh/in season & what is going on in the industry are great

ceri 2 ceri 2 Posted 07 Jul 2006 12:43 PM

A finger on the pulse of the fishing industry. Martin for P.M. - he`d stick it to the euro-muppets who want to kill off the industry. On a lighter note, excellent quality and choice delivered quickly.

themonkeyman themonkeyman Posted 07 Jul 2006 12:41 PM

Always available for advise, biggest mussels seen in a long time. Has encouraged me to try a wider variety of shellfish and fish. Fantastic. Tina Timberlake

TATIMBER TATIMBER Posted 07 Jul 2006 8:00 AM

Freshest fish ever! Quality is superb and I doubt it could be beaten either...

My wife used to work in the fish in Scotland and knows what happens in the big factories, she will only eat fish from martins.

I'm a chef and have tried fish from all major fish markets in the UK and many smaller ones, nothing compares to Martins seafresh!!

Matthew Clarke Matthew Clarke Posted 06 Jul 2006 11:05 PM

Fantastic quality fish amazingly fresh

I have been a customer of Martins for some time now but am still amazed by the quality and condition of the fish delivered. Their customer service is second to none.
