Moxon’s is one of London’s leading Fishmongers with over 25 years of experience in the industry.
Beginning with our first site in Clapham South, we now have retail shops in East Dulwich, South Kensington and Islington; as well as a small factory supplying the shops with our own smoked fish and award-winning fish pies, fishcakes and sauces.
Dictated by seasonality and sustainability, we buy our fish and shellfish directly from all corners of the British coastline – from Newlyn to Shetland, via much of the South and East coasts, the Gower Peninsula in Wales and up to Peterhead in Scotland.
Our wealth of knowledge in the industry, combined with the trust we have built with the specific boats we buy from means we have the pick of the finest quality British fish and shellfish landed each day.
How we prepare your fish.
Our fishmongers can prepare your fish in various ways, please see below for the services we offer.
Gutted
An incision is made in the belly of the fish at the tail end and cut through the skin to the head. The guts, roe and gills are removed.
Scaled
Holding the fish by the tail, a blade is scraped in short, sharp bursts against the grain of the scales and back again, until the scales are removed.
Filleted
Fish fillets are cut along the entire side of the fish, removing the meat from the spine and most of the bones.
Trimmed
The fins are removed.
Pin Boned
The small, thin, flexible bones distributed along the side of the fillet are removed.
Steaked
Steaks are portions of fish that have been cut across the body rather than along the sides. They include a section of backbone.
Skinned
Held at the tail end of the fish, a small angled cut through the flesh is made. The skin is held while a knife is gently moved through the fish.
Supreme
Supremes are portions of fish that have been cut across the boneless fillet.
