Where to Buy Great Dorset Seafood

Buying Dorset-caught seafood generally means a higher quality product, as boats bring their catch ashore daily rather than relying on ice to keep it fresh for days at a time before the boat returns to port. With seafood, freshness is everything.

Persuade your seafood supplier to support their local fishermen and show provenance. Be more adventurous and ask for what is in season, rather than sticking with the old favourites. Get to know your local seafood - there are over 40 species caught in Dorset to choose from. Your supplier should be able to tell you where and how your fish were caught. Don’t be afraid to ask.

 Supporting Seafood Outlets

There are a number of seafood outlets in Dorset currently supporting our Great Dorset Seafood campaign. They have pledged to supply (when available) and promote high quality, low impact seafood, harvested responsibly from Dorset’s coastal waters. Look out for the Great Dorset Seafood "Available here" badge on display in their premises.

Supporting outlets can be viewed in our Great Dorset Seafood directory. Look for one near you or you can recommend your favourite outlet and sign up to become a Great Dorset Seafood supporter. We will be building this list as the campaign develops.

Recommend your seafood outlet to Dorset Wildlife Trust. This will allow us to approach them and request support of our Great Dorset Seafood campaign through responsible sourcing of Dorset seafood. Complete the form on our Support Us page, to recommend an outlet.
