Frequently Asked Questions

Many questions… We tried to address the most frequently asked. For the ones we missed, send us a message, or call us.

We would rather be selling you fish we expect to have. Our product list gets updated twice daily according to expected landings. The longer you give us, the more we catch. Come fishing anytime but consider 2-3 pm on Tuesday a lucky time for a decent catch of fish.
Let’s be up front, any fish guy telling you that all his fish are freshly landed this morning is either only selling a handfull of them or is trying to sell you Red Herrings… Our Fish you will receive could have been landed that very morning or caught a couple of days beforehand. The freshness of a Fish relates as much to when was it caught, as to the fishing method used to catch it, how was it cared for, the season, the weather, the Skipper and the boat landing it…We know how to select the best, our reputation is built upon quality and freshness. We only sell you fish as fresh as the ones we enjoy eating ourselves.
We are Hungry Gannets always searching for the best Irish catch. In fact 95% of the fish we source is Wild Irish caught. A number of species may not be available to us in Ireland, or are only commercially available as farmed. Those are always clearly labelled as and kept apart from our Wild Irish stocks. We sell them because our customers are asking for those, not the other way round…
NO… fresh means fresh. We would prefer to close shop than sell you a defrosted “fresh” fish fillet! A few of our products such as Crabs, Shrimps, or Smoked fish could have been previously frozen. They are always clearly labelled as “Defrosted”, it is good practice and the law (for those who apply it…)

Send us an email to [email protected] with your question, we will get back to you as soon as we can.  At any given time one of our “International” Fishmongers may be able to advise you in English, French, Romanian, Spanish, Russian, and Americanese. Or we can blag our way out of it with Google.
All our fillets of White Fish and Farmed Fish are carefully prepared: Scaled, Trimmed & Pinboned by hand. Despite all our care, the odd piece of bone may remain, it happens. Some small fillets like mackerel, herring, gurnard will usually still have the bones in. These are easily removed after cooking. If fish bones are a major “bone of contention” in your household, drop us a comment when ordering. We may be able to select for you particular cuts guaranteed bone free. “Everyone should Eat-more-fish”.
