Shop History:

Why ‘Skipper’s’ you may ask. We named our local Fishmongers Skipper’s as a nod to the original Skipper at West Coast Sea Products: John King Senior. From there he went on to fish for Scallops and built West Coast Sea products to be what it is today: a fleet of five scallop fishing vessels with a factory that has over 100 local employees exporting Scottish Scallops across Europe. We first started to provide our local services in 2020 delivering fresh scallops to peoples’ doors. When demand grew, we invested in two mobile fishmonger vans that have been travelling around Dumfries and Galloway giving rural areas access to Scottish Seafood. Skipper’s Fishmongers is the next step in our local services, offering permanent shop with longer opening hours for the Kirkcudbright community and beyond. The local community was close to John King Senior’s heart, and we know he would have loved to see fresh local seafood, landed by our vessels, being sold in the heart of Kirkcudbright.

Did you know? Oily fish like mackerel and salmon are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, while white fish like haddock and cod are naturally low in fat and packed with protein.

Both are delicious, nutritious choices and can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet!
