This innovative and environmentally-conscious approach to shellfish harvesting represents the forefront of sustainable fishing practices. As a passive technique, it significantly mitigates the detrimental impact on seabeds commonly associated with traditional methods like dredging and trawling. Notably, this method is highly favoured by Michelin-starred and elite chefs across the UK and Europe.
Henley Shellfish is a premier supplier known for sourcing day-caught seafood, with daily landings meticulously timed at 5 PM. Utilising specialised refrigerated transport, we ensure that the shellfish is delivered to Fleetwood customers by 2:30 AM.
