Our Commitment to the Catch: Quality Fish, Sustainably Sourced
For over 25 years we have continued to prioritise building strong relationships with local fishing communities and smaller-scale suppliers right here in the UK. By choosing local wherever possible, we ensure exceptional freshness, support coastal livelihoods, and significantly reduce food miles, which in turn minimises our carbon footprint.
​
Our team's expertise is deep-rooted in a true passion for the industry. We don't just supply fish; we act as a culinary partner, offering precise knowledge on seasonality, provenance, and preparation techniques. This commitment ensures we not only meet the rigorous quality and volume demands of professional chefs but also provide the in-depth insight and product knowledge required to inspire and execute ambitious, innovative menus.
​
Our expertise extends to championing the often under-appreciated species available in British waters. While Cod, Haddock, and Lemon Sole are always popular, we guide our customers towards brilliant alternatives—such as Hake, Coley, or Gurnard—that are typically more abundant, sustainably caught, and offer exceptional value without compromising flavour or texture. By highlighting these excellent secondary species, we provide chefs with the means to diversify their menus, manage costs effectively, and relieve pressure on the traditional fish stocks, proving that the greatest quality often lies just off the beaten path.
UK-Wide Supply
At Premier Fish, our commitment to delivering the very best seafood starts right here, on the doorstep of the South Coast. This region, with its rich maritime heritage, provides us with an abundance of exceptional, sustainably caught fish and shellfish.
​
For species that require wider sourcing, we maintain a robust, transparent supply chain across the entire UK.
This ensures that even when dealing with larger suppliers, we can trace our seafood back to well-managed stocks, offering you a consistent supply of responsibly caught fish and shellfish.
Specialising in Local Trout
A perfect example of our commitment to local quality is our fresh Chalk Stream Trout and Rainbow Trout.
We proudly source these premium fish from dedicated, high-welfare farms located within a 15 mile radius of our premises. These mineral-rich chalk streams produce trout with unmatched flavour and texture.
​
We also smoke Chalk Stream Trout at our very own Premier Smokehouse, creating a delicious product for many menu applications.

Sustainably Sourced:
Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)
To give you complete confidence in the seafood you purchase, we offer a wide range of products bearing the blue Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) label.
​
MSC is an international non-profit organisation that sets the global benchmark for sustainable fishing practices. The blue MSC ecolabel means it has been independently certified to meet their rigorous science-based standard.
​
To achieve and maintain certification, a fishery must comply with three core principles:
​
-
Healthy Fish Stocks: Ensuring fish populations are monitored and remain productive and healthy for the future.
-
Minimising Environmental Impact: Operating in a way that avoids damage to other species (bycatch) and the wider marine habitat.
-
Effective Management: Implementing robust management systems to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.
​
By choosing MSC-certified seafood from Premier Fish, you actively reward sustainable practices, helping to protect our oceans and secure fish for generations to come.
