Online Fishmongers
Did you know that you can now buy fresh fish online? Yes it is true - these days you can pretty much buy almost anything on the internet. Our love affair with search engines, principally Google, has meant that retailers, wholesalers in fact pretty much anyone who has a service or product to offer has an online presence.This could seem like a new concept to you, given the relatively short shelf life of fresh fish. But some savvy fishmongers have realised that there is a market for those looking to buy smoked salmon or buy haddocks fillets on the internet.
They have developed a processing and delivery method that ensures that customers receive high quality fresh fish to their doorstep. The fish is quick frozen in a natural preservative and will arrive in specially sealed vacuumed packed bags, meaning that the fish retains its freshness and flavours throughout the delivery process. The fish is dispatched in a Van with a dry ice compartment, meaning that the produce is kept at a very low temperature and will not lose its freshness.
Buying fish online might seem like a strange concept. But if you consider that we are all working longer hours, with increasingly stressful lifestyles, it makes sense for us to be able to buy fish online rather than rush to the fishmongers during work hours.In fact, if you buy your fresh fish online, it could actually be fresher because it has not sat on display all day in the supermarket.
The other issue to consider is choice, many of the newly formed online fishmongers offer a huge selection of fish that may not be available is a fishmongers in a provincial town. Aside from that not every town or village has a fishmongers; more often than not consumers are purchasing fresh fish from a supermarket.You may find that your local supermarket has only a small selection of fish available.
Searching on Google for “Fresh Fish” shows lots of links to specialist online fishmongers, so you’re sure to find the right fresh fish for you!
