Al is delighted to welcome Helen from Fox Covert Farm to the shop today, and even more delighted to now stock another amazing Midlands-made product : H**p ! 🌿💚

H**p is a real nutritional powerhouse:
✔ naturally rich in protein
✔ packed with omega-3 and omega-6
✔ full of essential minerals
✔ great for heart health, inflammation, and energy
✔ and an easy way to boost your meals with clean, Irish-grown goodness 🇮🇪✨

Whether sprinkled on salads, blended into smoothies, added to porridge, baked into bread, or used as a crunchy topping, h**p is one of the simplest ways to add nutrition without changing your cooking style.

And guess what? Anderson already has some cracking recipe ideas to help you bring h**p into your daily meals – keep an eye out for his delicious creations! 👨‍🍳🌿

Proud to support local farmers, local food, and local goodness. That’s what Al’s Fish Shop is all about. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone for the amazing messages after the awards at I’m genuinely blown away by all the support! 🐟💙
To the all newspapers who highlighted this achievement, to Midlands 103 for the brilliant podcast, and to the incredible BIM team for all their guidance and recognition, thank you for making this fishmonger feel like a celebrity (even if I still smell like salmon most days 😂).
I guess being a fishmonger is much more than filleting fish… it’s about community, passion, hard work, and a good dose of humour along the way.
Feeling very grateful and ready for whatever comes next! 🏆
