Fresh, Local, Fish

On an early morning bike ride in Southsea a few months ago I ended up at the harbour and had a look around Johnson’s fish wholesalers who were kind enough to welcome me in to take photos of them at work. All sorts of fish and shellfish are available (you can even look at the live lobsters and giant crab in their tanks) and the guys working there were really knowledgeable, even going though every fresh fish and telling me where it was caught, much of it local to Portsmouth and the surround area. I grabbed some fresh cod fillet to grill for my lunch (cheap too), highly recommended if you are up and out early.

Visit Forever Circling to see more photos.

    You know, never been. Silly really. We should get on it for early morning summer beach BBQs this year.

    Places like these need to be made more of. It’s a side of Portsmouth and Southsea that is not celebrated or promoted enough.

    In my humble opinion that is.

    I try and get down there once a week – early bought a live lobster once, but I felt sorry for it when it was removed from the tank and started going nuts! I asked for it to be put back.

    Very nice photographs, reminds me of Billingsgate Market, East London but on a much smaller scale. Would have loved to have seen more shots of the ‘characters’ that work there.

    I met a great character there, he was telling me how used to build boats and yachts, sadly he didn’t want his photo taken. But yeah, some really interesting people are up at that time of day generally.
