The Fish Deli

The Fish Deli is a specialist Delicatessen based in the Devon town of Ashburton and the owners share a passion for fish sourced from local day boats with marine conservation in mind. They sell:

• Fantastic fish
• Outstanding olives
• Delicious deli
• Classy cookware
• Inspired cooked fish dishes to take home

Nick, the owner, is a fully qualified chef who began his training in Plymouth , and started working in the city’s large hotels, which gave him a very sound classical training  ( a proper apprenticeship - for instance whole sides of Angus Beef would be delivered for butchering!) He later moved on to the Holiday Inn. At the time the Holiday Inn were buying their fish pre-packed from large wholesalers despite being only a five minute walk from the quay where fish were landed fresh daily! 
Though he was only 18 at the time he suggested to the head chef that he begin buying all the fish locally – he was given a budget and began to source all the fish for the hotel at Plymouth fish market. Many of the fishermen we deal with now have known Nick since then.

The Fish Deli is a feast for all the senses. They have delicious smells of cooking food to tempt you in, outstanding olives, delicious deli products, and lots of interesting and innovative things.
