We have a local fisherman who catches a selection from around the bay and estuary in Shaldon, which include lobsters, crab, sole, line-caught sea bass, wild caught salmon.
Barry Sessions and his team hand pick mussels, from the Teign which are of the finest quality due to the unique tidal currents in the estuary.
We use a family run company called Britannia Shellfish which are based near the seafront at Beesands for our hand dived scallops and line caught fish.
