Cod and Haddock are fairly expensive at the moment because we are buying from Iceland as no landings from Norway until the end of the week. After this there will be a considerable reduction in cost.
Both small and medium squid is in short supply – only landings from Scotland but their sizing are different.
Crabs are going out of season for about a month – they shed there shells and breed so expect sporadic supplies

Lemon Soles, Plaice and John Dory are all good price, supply and quality.
Dover Soles are roed up this time of year
