As an island, we are a nation with a strong fishing heritage. The sad decline of this industry, combined with the ability to overfish the seas on a gigantic scale, has meant that fish once common have disappeared. The supermarket fish counter often holds wonders from far away waters, but not even a decent sardine. This has lead to confusion about what to buy and how to buy it. 

Don't be afraid to ask your fishmonger questions about where he buys his fish, how it is caught, and what is best now. Fish is a seasonal food, and by buying seasonally, you will buy what is cheapest and freshest at the time. Surely that can't be bad? Good fishmongers are an elusive breed in Britain, but we have tracked them down, and some of the very best fish is available on the counters listed below.
