Brixham fish market is recognised as one of the UK’s leading
coastal markets and operates 5 days a week starting at 6 am Monday and Friday
and 7 am Tuesday to Thursday.
Our dedicated buyers Nigel Ward and Martin Purnell operate on
Brixham Fish Market day in day out and have amassed some 50 years combined
experience. They have an intimate working knowledge of Brixham coastal fish,
the boats and the skippers; this allows us to offer a fully traceable service
where we can trace every purchase back to the actual boat that landed the
catch.
On a typical day Nigel and Martin will be found on the market
inspecting the variety and quality of the landings before the auction bell
rings to open the market. In addition they will be talking directly to chefs
and fish buyers the length and breadth of the UK, guiding them to the pick of
the days landings.
We have worked hard to forge and establish a broad network of
international suppliers that allow us to source virtually any species that our
customers may require. Exotic species such as line caught Yellow Fin Tuna and
Swordfish are sourced on a daily basis from world markets as is farmed Sea
Bass, Gilt Head Bream, Salmon and Sea Trout.

Channel Fisheries has built its hard earned reputation on
sourcing the very best quality fish and will never compromise on this core
value. We simply source that day's catch, then transport it back in our own
temperature controlled vehicles to our production plant sited less than a mile
from Brixham market.
On arrival each and every fish is inspected and graded according to size. Our
day boat landed fish is recognised with our unique tagging system that
indicates it is graded and selected by Channel Fisheries.
All orders are prepared to exact customer specifications that
may include, scaling, pin boning, skinning, filleting, steaking or portion
controlling. Each order is then packed into food safe insulated, leak proof,
polystyrene boxes with additional ice packs; sealed and then distributed to
customers all across the UK the same day in either our own fleet or through our
reliable courier service.
Typically all coastal fish orders are despatched and delivered
within 24 hours of landing. This process combined with our buying expertise
allows our customers to enjoy fresh fish that cannot be bettered anywhere in
the UK.
