What’s Good Right Now…5 fish you should be buying this Autumn
1. Plaice
Once considered ‘London’s fish’ we’re determined to reinstate this status because when in season (like now) it’s a great challenger to sole or even turbot and a fraction of the price.
2. Squid
‘Jigged’ or line-caught season has started and squid caught in this method are an entirely different animal to the netted or trawled ones.
3. Gurnard
Big, colourful and brimming with flavour. This unsung hero is ridiculous value right now. Its firm texture works well for stews and curries.
4. Bass
Autumn wild bass is best. The colder water does wonders for its texture and flavour and the price is favourable too.
5. John Dory
At the more premium end but still great bang for your buck. Cook whole for the best results, it’s easy to pull off the bone once cooked and don’t be fooled by the fillet size - it’s a surprisingly filling fish.
As ever our team in store are at hand for preparation and cooking advice. All fish sourced direct from our team in Looe.

Drinks don’t often get the spotlight at TSTS but has created a sublime offering, drawing on his 12 year cocktail bar experience including 6 years at .
He’s also worked 6 harvests at the excellent Champagne Pouillon which is available at our Chelsea seafood bar by the glass.
Tomas is never short of a recommendation, pairing or non-alcoholic alternative so feel free to test him out!

Been lovely to see some wild gilthead bream around West Country waters recently. Their availability can be hit and miss so it’s a treat; even had some pink bream (couches) and the odd Pandora bream showing up the the boats we source from directly.

On a Scottish shellfish scouting trip earlier this week I had a stop in at Kames to meet Cate and Andy Cannon of MóR Atlantic Trout. This farm exclusively breeds Steelheads - rainbow trout reared at sea. As the only remaining Scottish-owned fish farm in Scotland, this family-run business takes the business of ethical aquaculture seriously; so much so that founder Stuart (Andy’s father) has been awarded an MBE for it.
After a tour of the hatchery, Andy took us out to the loch to inspect a trout part-way through its growth cycle. Lured with feed and dipped into a mild anesthetic so we could take a look at its condition before releasing it back into the pen unharmed. These fish will be up to 5kg when harvested and coming soon to our menus and fish counter.
Open-water fish farming isn’t perfect, but it’s making encouraging advances and it’s important to support the ones that care the most, in the never-ending quest for a regenerative and consistent fish supply.

Octopus landings in Cornwall have come right down since their summer rampage but our lobster boats are still finding invaders in their pots.
Get them retail or at our seafood bar served with pine nut ajo blanco and mustard leaf.
