For 25 years, The Fish Society has been at the forefront of transforming how seafood is sourced, frozen, and delivered to homes across the UK. What began as a small operation in Guildford has grown into a trusted brand, celebrated for its unrivaled commitment to quality and an extraordinary selection of fish and seafood. Founded by Alistair Blair, The Fish Society continues to challenge industry norms and set new standards for excellence in frozen seafood.
The Birth of an Idea
In the early 1990s, Alistair Blair recognized a gap in the seafood market. Living in Guildford, far from the coast, he found it difficult to access premium-quality fish. This challenge sparked an idea: why not bring the best seafood directly to consumers, regardless of their location? Thus, The Fish Society was born.
Starting with a handful of suppliers and a small team, the company’s mission was simple yet ambitious: to deliver the finest seafood, frozen at its peak, to customers who demand the very best. Over the years, this mission has remained steadfast, driving every aspect of the business.
The Science of Freshness
The Fish Society’s success lies in its innovative approach to freezing. Many consumers perceive frozen fish as inferior to fresh, but Alistair Blair’s vision turned this misconception on its head. By sourcing fish from over 150 trusted suppliers across the UK and Europe and freezing it almost immediately after landing, The Fish Society ensures that the seafood retains its natural flavor, texture, and nutrients.
This approach means fish auctioned in Cornwall, The Hebrides, Norfolk, or even Boulogne one day can be processed, frozen, and ready for delivery the next. The result? A product that is as close to “fresh off the boat” as possible.
An Unparalleled Range
One of the most distinctive aspects of The Fish Society is its extensive selection. With over 200 products on offer, the company caters to all tastes and preferences. From classic staples like cod, haddock, and salmon to rarer delicacies like sea urchin, langoustines, and smoked eel, there’s something for everyone.
This wide range reflects the company’s commitment to making the ocean’s bounty accessible to all. Whether you’re preparing a family dinner, experimenting with a new recipe, or hosting a special occasion, The Fish Society’s diverse offerings ensure you’ll find exactly what you need.
Sustainability at Heart
In an era where sustainability is paramount, The Fish Society takes its responsibility seriously. The company works closely with suppliers to ensure that all fish are sourced ethically and sustainably. This commitment extends to educating customers about the importance of sustainable seafood and providing them with the tools to make informed choices.
A Legacy of Excellence
Over the past 25 years, The Fish Society has built a reputation for quality and reliability. From humble beginnings in Guildford to becoming a leader in the seafood industry, the company has remained true to its founding principles. Customers trust The Fish Society not just for its exceptional products but for the care and passion that go into every order.
