This is the first time he has tried his hand at opening a wet fish shop and training his staff has been a top priority. The whole team is just back from an intensive course in Boulogne where they were put through their paces on every aspect of running a fishmonger's. “Boulogne is the biggest fishing port in France and the team made sure we knew everything from assessing quality to filleting skills, fish buying, preparation and selling,” said Jonny. “We even had a day with a Michelin starred chef who taught the basics of fish cookery.” What an experience!

His love of fish stems from memories of regular family holidays to Westgate as a child and he made his home here six years ago. “ It’s great to be associated with the harbour and local fishermen it has completed the experience of living by the seaside for me. I’m passionate about good quality food and it’s great to see the business opening at last.” He hopes people will enjoy visiting the shop, which he has named after his own children. “I’ve restored the building to as near to the original as possible and to add a little local interest we have included two panels of tiles which depict old views of the harbour. I’m glad we have been able to bring an old building back into use.”
