Weyfish is Weymouth’s premier harbourside fishmonger, nestled in Weymouth’s historic ‘Old Fish Market’.
Its a traditional fishmonger celebrated for its fresh, sustainable Dorset seafood, sourced from the cool, clear waters of the Dorset coast.
Housed in a beautifully refurbished building designed by Thomas Talbot Bury in 1855, Weyfish offers world-famous Portland crab and lobster, hand-dived scallops, line-caught sea bass, mackerel, pollack, sole, turbot, brill, plaice, and local oysters and mussels, with over 40 species landed daily by Weymouth’s fleet.
The Portland stone structure, a harbourside landmark for over 150 years, reflects Weymouth’s rich maritime heritage, rooted in its history as a hub for sea bathing and civic modernisation.
With over 70% of its offerings from small, owner-operated day boats, Weyfish supports low-impact fishing methods like lines, nets, and pots, minimising by-catch and discards within the Marine Conservation Act-protected waters. “Our location right on the harbour and personal relationships with over 30 local boats ensure a constant supply of fresh, sustainably caught seafood, just hours old,” says owner Sean Cooper.
Weyfish’ s skilled fishmongers bring craft and artistry to every cut, offering expert advice to help customers enjoy the day’s catch, whether a familiar favourite or a new delicacy like John Dory or Billy Winters.
Committed to sustainability, Weyfish reduces its carbon footprint with an air source heat pump, underfloor heating, and 18kW of solar energy across its facilities, saving over 10 tonnes of CO2 annually with support from Low Carbon Dorset. A fully electric delivery vehicle, powered by solar and hydro energy, further underscores their environmental dedication.
