Food hygiene rating: 5 out of 5

Fore Street has had a fishmonger since the 1950s, and Darren and Emma have been the ones behind the counter since 2010. He started fishing as a boy with his dad and was filleting on Plymouth's fish quay at sixteen; she was the first female skipper of an under-10-metre trawler in the UK, and the two of them met on that same quay. Between them, over 40 years in the industry, all of it visible in the knife work.

Fish comes up from Plymouth and the surrounding waters daily, alongside lobster, crab, scallops and mussels, and they will prepare whatever you choose to your requirements. There is frozen seafood too, plus a range of local products and the Salcombe Smokies the shop is known well beyond Devon for. Go in without a plan and ask what landed that morning - the advice is the point as much as the fish.
