Each trading day at Billingsgate Market offers buyers an opportunity to see the largest selection of fish in the United Kingdom. Daily arrivals from the coast and overseas ensure a continuity of fresh supplies and with some 54 merchants trading in close proximity in the Market Hall, competition is keen. In addition to such a wide selection of fish and fish products, the Market offers buyers a comprehensive service with tenants dealing in poultry, cooking oils, potatoes, trade sundries and specialist restaurant and catering supplies.
A carrier service is available serving London and the Home Counties and arrangements can usually be made for supplies to be dispatched to most parts of the country. Billingsgate Market is thus able to offer an excellent one stop service to the busy trade buyer. We are also open to the public.
I recently made the effort to get up early enough to visit the market. I was not disappointed, the variety of fish and seafood available was fantastic and the quality exceptional. While some traders sold by the box/case others did offer individual fish for sale to the public. Even if you are not buying the atmosphere is excellent and friendly with stall holders answering any questions you have. A must see for anyone with an interest in food who is in London.
