Swanage Bay Fish: The Heart of Traditional Fish mongering in Swanage

If you’re after fresh, local seafood with a side of passion and expertise, look no further than Swanage Bay Fish-Swanage’s only traditional fishmonger! This friendly family team has been fishing the Purbeck coast for generations, bringing the very best from Dorset’s waters straight to your plate.

Whether you’re planning a special dinner, a big event, or just craving a tasty seafood treat, Swanage Bay Fish has you covered all year round. Julia, a fully trained fishmonger and proud member of the National Federation of Fishmongers, runs the shop alongside Terry, who knows the Jurassic Coast like the back of his hand.
Terry’s out on the water most days, hauling in lobster and crab during the summer and a variety of seasonal fish the rest of the year.

Sustainability is their catchphrase and they use the best fishing methods to protect the sea and believe every fish deserves a chance, no matter its size. Fancy something a little extra?
