Another beautiful flat fish from the same family as the dab. They are fantastic for soaking up loads of flavour, so don't be afraid to add some spice, citrus and garlic when cooking. Since they're best left whole, they'll come trimmed and headed ready for cooking. Stick them under the grill or into a pan for a few minutes each side for the perfect quick, healthy and regenerative seafood meal!

What size fish should I buy?

We recommend a serving size of 250g whole fish per person. That equates to around 120-160g of meat yielded from a whole fish when filleted or eaten off the bone.

We have put serving suggestions in the size options for each fish, which are generated using the above recommendation.

Does everything come ready to cook?

All of your fresh fish and seafood arrives ready to cook unless otherwise stated. 

Some small species like sprats and sardines are delivered whole and will require gutting before being cooked. Please check product descriptions for more info.

Can I freeze my order?

All fresh fish in your order can be frozen in their packaging. If you are planning to freeze all or part of your order, we suggest doing so as soon as you receive your delivery for best quality.

To defrost, pop your fish into the fridge overnight. Once defrosted, consume within 2 days.

Please note - some shellfish are not suitable for freezing, check product descriptions for more info.

What is the shelf life of my fish?

Everything comes direct from fishermen and producers. As a result, most fish will arrive to you with at least 3 days shelf life. Some species like mackerel are best eaten within 48 days of delivery. Flat fish species like Dover Sole, Lemon Sole and Plaice can be eaten up to 4 days from delivery

Every pack has a printed use by date for reference.

How is my purchase helping to rebuild ocean ecosystems?

At Pesky, our single goal is to deliver a global supply chain that guarantees both the regeneration of marine ecosystems, as well as the livelihoods of the fishermen who fish for them. Through our Regenerative Fishing Framework, for you to have absolute trust that your purchases are actively working to:

1. Regeneration of Fish Stocks and their Marine Environments

2. Growing the economic opportunities of regenerative fishermen and producers

3. Deliver both of these within a net zero supply chain from catch to kitchen.

What packaging do you use?

To support our path to a net-zero supply chain, your order is shipped in 100% recyclable packaging meaning nothing goes to landfill, nor the oceans.

By not shipping in polystyrene, you help to mitigate over 15,000 cubic feet of polystyrene from going to landfill every month. That's over 3 London double decker buses full!

When will my order arrive?

Orders placed before 23:00 on a market night will arrive before midday 2 days later. I.e. An order on Monday at 20:00 will arrive Wednesday by 12:00.

Somewhat lacking in taste of the sea.

Item: 200g Whole Flounder (serves 1)

Excellent, very fresh and good value for money. Perfect for a single serving.
The flavour was good, as it arrived 48 hours after quayside landing. A little firmer than plaice, but not as firm as a Dover. I trimmed off the head and tail, dusted it in seasoned flour adding a little paprika, then shallow-fried it in olive oil. A simple and delicious supper.

I gently cooked this and got lovely soft white flesh. A delicious treat.

This was delicious. It took slightly longer to gently fry in butter than other flat fish I'm used to (e.g. plaice) but that's because it was a slightly fatter flat fish. Beautiful soft flesh, and very delicious.
