EnglishWhat is E. Ashton Fishmongers?
Updated
E. Ashton Fishmongers is a fishmonger, poulterer and game dealer based in Cardiff Central Market, trading since 1800. It describes itself as one of the largest fish retail outlets in the United Kingdom, employing around 25 staff, and it combines a retail counter with wholesale supply to hotels, restaurants and caterers across Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and the surrounding areas.
What the business does
The site presents two sides to the operation:
- Retail — a market counter where customers buy fish directly, with fishmongers on hand to advise on what is in season and which fish suits a given occasion.
- Wholesale and trade supply — regular supply to many of the major hotels and restaurants in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and the surrounding areas.
Delivery is part of the offer. The site states that Ashton's delivers to hotels, restaurants and caterers throughout those areas, including twice-weekly deliveries to Bristol, using a fleet of temperature-controlled vehicles.
Product range
The navigation on the site groups the range into categories, which gives a practical picture of what is sold:
| Category | Notes from the site |

| General | Listed as a range category |
| Kids | Listed as a range category |
| Quick & Easy | Listed as a range category |
| Salmon | Listed as a range category |

The site says the counters carry the widest variety of fish it can select throughout the year, and that staff advise on the season's best.
