Salmon was amazing however slightly disappointed when i got home the scales were not fully removed when I had requested this.
Always fresh seafood and lovely staff. My #1 place for prawns, fish, and scallops 😋
The best of the best fishmongers. They have their own smoker for smoked haddock. Mr Purkis showed it to me. Amazing. Best choice of all kinds of fish.
Best fishmonger in London. Very friendly and knowledgeable service. Great quality fish and a lovely range. I wouldn't buy fish from anywhere else.
You won't want to buy supermarket fish again once you've tried Walter Purkis. Totally delicious and fresh
