EnglishWhat kinds of fish and seafood does E. Ashton Fishmongers sell?
Updated
E. Ashton Fishmongers sells fresh fish and seafood through seasonal counter selections rather than a fixed catalogue. The site organises its range into flat fish, salmon, shellfish, general fish, and quick & easy options, and describes the counter as carrying "the best and the widest variety selection of fish possible" chosen throughout the year. Because the exact species and stock change with the seasons, the most reliable way to know what is available on a given day is to ask the fishmongers directly — the site states they advise on the season's best and the right fish for the occasion.
How the range is organised
The navigation on ashtonfishmongers.co.uk groups the offering into these categories:
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Flat Fish | Flat fish varieties |
| Salmon | Salmon |
| Shellfish | Shellfish |
| General | General fish |
| Kids | Options aimed at children |
| Quick & Easy | Convenience-oriented options |
| Offers | Current offers |
This is a browsing structure, not a stock list. The site does not publish species-by-species availability, prices, or weights, so treat the categories as a guide to what kind of product you are looking for rather than a live inventory.
What the counter actually offers
Ashtons describes itself as one of the largest fish retail outlets in the United Kingdom, with around 25 staff, trading as fishmongers, poulterers and game dealers in Cardiff since 1800. The counter selection is described as changing through the year, with the fishmongers selecting the best and widest variety available at any given time.
The site's recipe section gives concrete examples of the kind of fish sold and how it might be used — for instance a recipe listing coley or cod fillet, and others using mixed seafood and mussels. These are illustrative of the range rather than a complete list.
Who the range is for
Two distinct audiences are served:
- Retail customers — people buying at the Cardiff Central Market counter.
- Trade customers — hotels, restaurants and caterers across Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and surrounding areas, with twice-weekly deliveries to Bristol using temperature-controlled vehicles.
If you are buying for a specific dish or occasion and need to know whether a particular fish is in season or in stock, the site's own advice is to ask the skilled fishmongers, who advise on the season's best and the best fish for the occasion. For home delivery enquiries, the site lists the phone number 02920 229201.
