Not just winkles to be picked in Chelsea

One of the finest wet fish shops - they of traditional variety - with an iced window display in an open shop front is the The Chelsea Fishmonger. The shop, along with two others around London are owned by Rex Goldsmith who sources much of his fish from the inshore boats that land to Newlyn market. Inshore boats? The shop in Chelsea provides the very best possible fish in tip-top condition (check out previous posts with cracking fish like the red mullet from the Scorpio).

Rex has just begun a blog of all things fishy connected to the shop just off the Kings Road and it's trade . In working hours you can also catch sight those Cornish fish laid out on the counter display on the shop's web cam!
