Here in Cornwall, we are lucky enough to have some of the UK’s richest and most varied fish and shellfish supplies.

Our overnight delivery service means we can offer some of the freshest produce available in today’s market. The day boats bring in fish early each day, which is processed and delivered up to London and the surrounding counties later that day. Flying Fish is absolutely committed to quality. We strive to provide our customers with the finest fish and shellfish Cornwall has to offer, sustainably sourced and expertly selected Flying Fish Seafoods offers some of the fastest delivery times available in the industry. Our processes are diligently planned and executed to guarantee optimum freshness for our customers. We make a firm promise to supply the finest fish from ship to plate within 48 hours. Our buyers arrive at local markets before sunrise every day; selecting premium quality fish that has been landed the previous night. The fish is then prepared to order and dispatched for overnight delivery. Our delivery service operates five days a week, giving our customers a ready and limitless supply of freshly caught Cornish fish. This service has become invaluable to the many chefs and restauranteurs who rely on us to supply seafood that meets their exacting standards. We care passionately about the fish we supply to our customers. The team is committed to responsible sourcing and follows the highest industry practices to protect the rich and ample stocks we currently enjoy. Flying Fish Seafoods is a proud supporter of the Marine Stewardship Council and the Responsible Fishing Scheme. We are meticulous in the way we select our fish, ensuring supplies can be traced back to fisheries and vessels that operate sustainable policies. We promote fish that are available in plentiful volumes and avoid pressure stocks. We believe well managed and ecologically friendly fishing is essential for healthy waters. We want to work with industry partners to encourage ethical choices in seafood and preserve our abundant sources of marine life. There are many challenges to this industry, the main one being the weather and all its elements that are thrown at us, along with the changing tides, which all make a difference as to which fish can be brought in. Some Chefs have to be educated on the changing seasons and available supply. We have 24 hours at the most for maximum freshness, so transportation is a constant challenge. If we get caught up with snow, we just have to try to keep on going. www.heron-tennis.co.uk www.sportip.biz 33
