It's Zero Waste Week and we're kicking things off with one of our best tips for getting the most out of your fish:

Fish skins! You can salt them, dry them and grill or bake them into proper crackling crisps. Trust us, they're delicious and full of flavour ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ˜‹

And if you've got a dog or cat at home, fish skins make brilliant natural treats too. No additives, no nasties. Just cook, cool and freeze for whenever your furry pal deserves a reward ๐Ÿพ

Will you be giving this one a try at home?

Have you tried our Seafood Snack Packs yet?

If not, here's what you're missing. Each pack comes loaded with a brilliant mix of seafood: poached & smoked salmon, smoked Scottish mackerel, king prawns and luxury prawn cocktail.

All ready to eat, straight from the pack, no prep required! ๐Ÿ˜‹

Perfect for whenever hunger strikes between meals. Chuck one in your bag, keep one in the fridge at work, or just have one to hand for when you want something proper rather than reaching for the biscuit tin.

Nature's protein bar and multivitamin ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿ’Š

Before you reach for an expensive supplement, consider this. Fresh fish is one of the most naturally nutrient-dense foods on the planet. And it comes in more varieties than any health food shop could ever offer. Here's a few of our favourites and what they do for you:

๐ŸŸ Salmon
Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids for heart and brain health, plus vitamin D, B12 and a serious hit of protein. One of the most complete foods you can eat.

๐ŸŸ Mackerel
One of the richest natural sources of omega-3s going, packed with selenium, vitamin B12 and phosphorus. Great value too.

๐ŸŸ Sardines
Tiny but mighty. High in calcium, iron, vitamin D and omega-3s. One of the most nutrient-dense fish on the planet, gram for gram.

๐ŸŸ Cod
Lean, low in fat and high in protein, with a good dose of iodine which supports healthy thyroid function. A brilliant everyday fish.

Come and see what's available at our Kingstown shop or Pioneer Foodstore counter this week!

Po***ck is one of the most underrated fish in the sea and one of the most sustainable choices you can make at the counter ๐ŸŒŸ

this fish has a mild, flaky white flesh that works brilliantly battered, pan-fried, or in a warming fish pie. It holds its shape well in sauces and soaks up flavours beautifully, making it a fantastic swap for cod or haddock.

Not sure how to cook it? Pop in and ask our team at Kingstown or Pioneer Foodstore, we're always happy to help.

Let's set the record straight ๐Ÿ“‹
There's two things we hear more than we'd like:

๐Ÿ‘‰ "Is Kingstown wholesale only?"
๐Ÿ‘‰ "The Pioneer counter is cheaper than Kingstown"

Neither are true! Our Kingstown shop is open to absolutely everyone and our prices are identical across both locations. Fresh fish, expert advice and a friendly welcome, wherever you choose to find us.

Holy mackerel, have you tasted this? ๐Ÿ˜‹

Fresh mackerel is one of those fish that genuinely surprises people. Rich, bold and full of flavour, it's a world away from anything you'd get out of a tin.

It couldn't be simpler to cook. Score the skin, season with salt and pepper and pan-fry for just 3-4 minutes each side. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of horseradish cream and you've got a beautiful fish dish on the table in minutes.
