About Us
A passion for fish
We Pride Ourselves on Being the Home of Fish Experts, Who Have Served the Finest Seafood Since 1984!
Based in the heart of the South West, we supply fresh fish and quality seafood across the South of the UK. Our premises are located near Brixham, with a prime coastal position next to the world famous Brixham Fish Market. This means our local seafood is sourced directly from Brixham and along South Coast, and we have the space to expertly prepare your fish in-house by our team of skilled fishmongers. We follow this up with a team of over 50 efficient delivery drivers, who will deliver your order directly to your door, the very next day!
A passion for the fishing industry that spans decades
Marc Shipton is our Business Director and leads our team here at Kingfisher Brixham. However, the business was first established in 1984 by Nick Summersby, who began filleting fish in a bathtub! From these humble beginnings, and after years of hard work and dedication, we have grown into a successful, and modern business. This is based entirely on the foundations of our passion for the fishing industry, and we are proud to supply the fantastic range of wild and fresh seafood that is caught off of Brixham and the South Coast.
Generations in Fishing
Our staff have joined us from generations in fishing, with many remaining Brixham born and bred. A majority of our team are so local that some say they almost have fish in their blood! We are built on solid traditions, and Kingfisher Brixham is made up of a working family. Every member of our team is loyal and committed to what we do here, from the Brixham fish that we supply to thousands of customers across the country, to our thorough and hands-on customer service, we are extremely proud of the business that we are.
Behind the scenes, you will find that our staff include knowledgeable fish buyers and an experienced sales team, skillful fishmongers, technical experts and efficient delivery drivers. Our team are masters of their trade; with years of experience within the fishing industry and a wealth of knowledge supporting them. We don’t just take fish orders, we go above and beyond for our customers. This includes offering advice on menu planning, seafood seasonality, buyer recommendations, daily specials and knife skills on fish preparation.
Fresh and Local Sourcing
We have links to every major UK port and with local day boat fishermen. We are first-hand importers of fish and seafood from around the world.
