Sussex Prime Catch Box (subscription)
From: £85.00 every 4 weeks
Caught by Local Fishermen
If you’ve ever wondered why the fillets of fish you eat in restaurants always look more substantial and taste so much better than you achieve at home – it’s because the chefs reserve the prime fillets before the likes of us can get our hands on them!
But not any more! This ‘prime fillet’ box is perfect for foodies, coineuseurs or fancy-food-fans as it contains exactly those fillets usually reserved by the hospitality industry. Cut from the thicker, fattier parts of the largest fish, expect nothing but luxury from your delivery.
Still seasonal, still caught within the last 48 hours – the fillets are unbeatably fresh. And by allowing us to choose your fish you are immediately becoming a more responsible consumer of seafood – eat local and seasonal to protect our seas and its bounty.
- also available for one off orders
- 12 boneless prime fillets of the largest fish directly caught off the Sussex coast. To the value of £85.
- Our expert team will hand pick a selection of fish on the morning of dispatch, prepare and pack it ready to go. Fish choices depend on seasonality.
- A great way to try a wide variety of fish. Net and line caught in the most sustainable way.
- Check out the “our fleet” page for more information on the boats that catch your fish!!
WHY CHOOSE SUSSEX PRIME CATCH?
Sussex is located predominantly on the south coast of England with around 90 miles of shoreline from Camber in the east to Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the west.
The responsible management of the coastline and its marine life is a fine balancing act between environmental, social and economic pressures. By choosing local and seasonal seafood that has been caught from well-managed stocks and with the least impact on the ecosystem, we can all continue enjoying fresh and high quality Sussex seafood.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
- 12x prime fillets weighing approximately 2kg (total weight).
- Each fillet will weigh approximately 170g.
To ensure we are protecting fish stocks you will be provided with a seasonal selection of fresh fish, caught within the last 48 hours.
Here are some of the species of fish you might see (entirely dependent on what the boats bring in);
- Turbot
- Brill
- Dover Sole
- Monkfish
- Wild Bass
- Red Mullet
- Lemon Sole
USES
A single fillet from our Sussex Prime Catch Box is the perfect size for a light lunch (maybe grilled with a side salad or some cous-cous) or a main meal (with some more substantial sides). For a child you may wish to reduce the portion a little.
If you are making a meal by weight, such as a fish pie or a fishcake, then, of course, these fish are exactly the same as any other fillet you’ve used before.
If you’re stuck for ideas on how to serve your fish then panic not – check out our ever-growing list of recipes here.
STORAGE
Our fish is as fresh as you can get without fishing it yourself, so while we recommend eating it as early as possible, it will last in your fridge for up to two days.
If you think you will need to freeze some/all of your fish, then we recommend freezing them as soon as possible. The quicker you freeze them the fresher they will taste when you defrost them (in the fridge for 24hrs).
REGULARITY
Delivery options are;
- Weekly; every 7 days
- Fortnightly; every 14 days
- 4-weekly; every 28 days
The exact day that you receive your order will be based on your choice for your first delivery. For example, if you order fortnightly with your first delivery on a Tuesday then your future orders will arrive every other Tuesday. Another example, if you order 4-weekly with your first delivery on a Friday then 4 weeks later, on Friday, your order will arrive.
BAD WEATHER
Every now and then weather prohibits us from being able to fish, either entirely, or for certain species. On these rare occasions you will find some of our frozen fish in your box instead of fresh. Rest assured, these are still fish from our own boats, locally sourced, seasonal, and fresh at the time of freezing.
