One of the best parts of today at Tonbridge Farmers Market was showing people how to spot a genuinely fresh fish.
Forget all the myths. Here's what your fishmonger looks for: • Eyes that are bright, clear and glassy, like marbles • Deep red gills • A firm body that springs back when you press it
And now for the one that catches everyone out...
If your fish feels slimy, don't panic. Fresh fish naturally has a protective slime. It's when it becomes sticky that alarm bells should start ringing.
Who knew slime could actually be a good thing?
Hopefully a few more people went home today feeling confident about choosing great quality fish. After all, buying fish shouldn't be a mystery.
Tell us... before reading this, would you have thought slime was a sign of freshness, or would you have put it straight back on the counter?

Today at Tonbridge Farmers Market, along with , I challenged people to look beyond the price tag and learn what real freshness actually looks like.
A truly fresh fish should have: • Bright, glassy, marble-like eyes • Rich red gills • Firm, springy flesh that bounces back when pressed
And here's a little fishmonger's secret. Don't be put off if your fish feels slimy. Fresh fish naturally has a clear protective slime. As long as it's slimy but not sticky, that's often a very good sign that it's fresh.
The more we understand our food, the better choices we make. It was fantastic to share a few fishmonger's tips today and help people buy with confidence.

Our Chilli Prawn Roll isn't here to play nice.
Succulent king prawns, packed into a soft roll with just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for another bite. It's fresh, fiery and dangerously moreish.
Perfect if you like your seafood with a little attitude.
Come and grab one while they last. Your taste buds can thank us later... your forehead might not.

Every octopus we prepare starts with skill, knowledge, and a steady hand. It's one of those jobs that looks simple when it's done well, but there's years of experience behind every cut.
The head needs carefully cleaning, the inedible parts must be removed, and only the sections that become beautifully tender after slow cooking are kept. It's a process that many people never see, but it's an essential part of a fishmonger's craft.
Preparing seafood isn't just about selling it. It's about respecting the ingredient, reducing waste, and making sure what reaches your plate is the very best it can be.
The next time you enjoy perfectly tender octopus, remember there was a lot of skill behind it long before it reached the pan.
That's the difference an experienced fishmonger makes.

This Saturday's decision is going to be a difficult one...

Will it be a Scallop & Bacon Roll, a proper Kipper Roll, or our Chilli Prawn Roll?

If you're heading to Medway Market at Chatham Dockyard this Saturday, make sure you arrive hungry because we'll be serving all three from our seafood stall.

Freshly cooked, packed with flavour, and made using quality seafood, these rolls have become firm favourites. Whether you're after the rich smokiness of a kipper, the indulgent combination of scallops and crispy bacon, or a chilli prawn roll with a little kick, we've got you covered.

Come and find us, say hello, and treat yourself to a proper seafood lunch. We can't wait to see you at Chatham Dockyard this Saturday.
