During the lockdown, some items were extremely difficult to get hold of – and still are, unless you\u2019re prepared to go into shops and markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dad likes crab meat, and in the past I\u2019ve always bought it for him at Makro, where they have very good fish and meat counters. But right now there is no way I am going in those sorts of places. And then my dad decides he wants some crab meat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started looking around and came across Wing – The Cornish Fishmonger<\/a>. They\u2019re recommended by Rick Stein (among others), and that\u2019s good enough for me. Better still, the fish is actually fresh and all recently landed (at the very least, freshly prepared). So I ordered some hand-picked fresh crab meat, a whole Cod fillet (as I suddenly got a hankering for some when I saw the website), and some kippers (my dad likes those, too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Items are shipped in polystyrene chill box, and you pick the date you want – usually within 24 hours if you order in the morning. For example, I placed another order late today – Wednesday – and it\u2019s coming on Friday. The quality of the first order was excellent – Cod fillet as long as my arm, crab meat sweet, and apparently the kippers (which I don\u2019t like) were \u2018just like the ones you used to get\u2019 (they\u2019re whole butterflied fish). You don\u2019t have to order whole fish fillets, as you can specify portions and it is prepared for you, but you can also buy whole fish if that\u2019s what you want – and all the funky kinds you\u2019d never see in Asda or Tesco. The shellfish are supplied live. And they also sell genuine Cornish Pasties, though I haven\u2019t tried those yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wing points out that buyers are supporting the Cornish fishing industry, which is struggling right now with everything that\u2019s going on. They also have a 5-star rating on Trustpilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
