The best place to buy fish I have come across in London. The fish is very fresh and a lot of variety. I also love how they display the fish on ice with informative tags. Not the styrofoam boxes like other sellers! However the place wouldn’t be what it is without the guys that work there. All of them are well versed in what they do and are very friendly.
This is by far the best place in London for buying fresh fish the dover sole and king scallops and halibut are amazing i got from here last Saturday I will be back for more
5 stars for the quality of their fish. 3 stars for their opening times. Impossible to get there in time if you have a job.
Crab is delicious. octopus salad mixed with vegetable salad. Hope can buy sea urchin next time.

Excellent fresh fish. Fantastic selection. This popular local Muswell Hill shop has been here for years and deservedly has a marvellous reputation.
Very very fresh fish! A bit pricey but always can find good fish for mid range prices...
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
