A Proper Fishmonger’s Counter in Somerset

A Proper Fishmonger’s Counter in Somerset. If you are looking for a proper fishmonger in Somerset, you will find exactly that here at White Row Farm Shop, just outside Frome.

Our fish counter is always full, fresh, and properly handled from the moment it arrives. A traditional fishmonger's counter, stocked as it should be, with a wide range of fresh fish and seafood, alongside handmade fish deli specials prepared in house.

Whether you are planning a proper meal or simply looking for fresh fish near Frome, this is the sort of counter worth building a meal around.

Fresh Fish Delivered to Somerset.

Much of our fish arrives directly from our fisherman, Bert, fishing off the South West coast. It comes straight from our coastal waters to our counter here in Somerset, as fresh as it gets.

Some of it arrives still in rigor, a sign of true freshness that you simply do not often see unless you are buying directly from a trusted fish supplier.

Alongside this, we receive regular fresh deliveries, ensuring the counter remains fully stocked throughout the week with seasonal fish and seafood.

What You Will Find on Our Fish Counter

A proper fish counter should offer choice, and plenty of it.

Depending on the day and what is looking at its best, you might find:

• Coastal mackerel, perfect for the barbecue

• Cod, hake and halibut, cut into beautiful steaks

• Lemon sole and Dover sole, ideal for a classic meunière

• Fresh trout, squid, and skate wings

• Red gurnard and brill from the South West coast

• Prawns and anchovies for something lighter or more delicate

• Crab, lobster and mussels something for the more adventurous!

• And far more besides. This is not a short list, it is a counter worth taking your time over.

Fish Prepared Properly, By People Who Know How

Everything on our counter is prepared by hand, here in our farm shop.

We will happily fillet your fish, trim it, portion it, and prepare it exactly as you need it. And because our fishmongers are chefs as well, you are not just buying fish, you are getting proper advice on how to cook it and what to serve it with.

From a simple midweek supper to something a little more special, they will help you get it right.

More Than Just Fresh Fish

Alongside the fresh fish and seafood, our counter is filled with the things that turn a good meal into something far better.

Alongside our fish deli, packed with handmade specials, from dressed crab and cockles to proper rollmop herrings, done the traditional way, to our own fish pies and sauces, everything is made here, by hand, as it should be.

You will also find our own taramasalata and gravadlax, all prepared in house using the same care and attention as everything else on the counter.

Nothing is brought in ready made. It is all done here by our team.

Zero Waste, Thoughtful from Start to Finish

We take a zero waste approach to our fish, everything is used as it should be. What does not go onto the counter is made into our fish pies, used across our café menu, or available in our frozen section.

All of our fish is packed using eco-friendly packaging, so from how it is caught to how it leaves the shop, every step is handled properly.

What to Cook With Your Fish?

If you are looking for inspiration, it does not need to be complicated.

A piece of halibut or hake with our salsa verde, served alongside a gratin of our own farm leeks with a rich cheese sauce, is more than enough.

Or keep things simple with mackerel on the barbecue, lemon sole in butter, or cod roasted with something fresh from the shop.

If you need ideas, just ask. That is what the counter is there for.
