Fishmongers

A fishmonger is a specialized retail or wholesale trader who sells fresh fish and seafood. They typically operate in fish markets, fishmongers' shops, or sections of supermarkets. Fishmongers source their products from fishermen or suppliers, ensure proper handling and storage to maintain freshness, and often provide advice on preparation and cooking. They play a key role in ensuring high-quality seafood reaches consumers, emphasizing cleanliness, quality, and sustainability. The term is often used interchangeably with "fish dealer," but a fishmonger usually refers to the retail seller serving individual customers.
