Fresh fish market report 06/02/2012
There were two really large markets on Plymouth and Looe today with a great selection of white fish , such as pollack, cod and haddock, and also plenty of other species to choose from. Lemon soles are very sensible at the moment, brill also represents good value.
On special this week we have flounders, lemon sole, gilthead bream, pollack, cod, ray wings, diced fish mix and boullabaisse mix, so hopefully something there for every budget.
Plenty of all other species coming in, including squid, turbot, brill, halibut, hake, john dory and much more...
New Wave at Rungis International market, Paris.
A night at Rungis in Paris is such an eye-opener. 15,000 people work there every night. You can eat a shellfish platter at midnight and then go and choose your produce. You'd be lucky to fit it all in within 6 hours and then you have to slog it back to the ferry. We've done many trips there, but have now set up with a superb mushroom wholesaler and a great poultry supplier.
The fish-hall is also first class, when we go we pick up Fin de Clare oysters, sardines and anchovies and various seafood delicatessen products such as brown shrimp.
We also have a regular fish and shellfish supplier on Rungis who can give us a daily delivery.
The fish hall opens at 1am and is about half a mile long.
The fish is amazing so we always pick up a few products, normally fin de clare oysters, crevettes, maybe a bit of bass and anything else that is good value.![rungis_foodhall[1].jpg](/uploads/rungis_foodhall[1].jpg)
The poultry and game halls are also vast and have the most amazing cockerels, duck, foie gras, bresse chicken, suckling pigs, milk-fed rabbits and loads more.. It's well worth a visit.
Whether we go or not we still buy fish, mushrooms and poultry from Rungis each week http://www.rungismarket.com/en/vert

Oz Harbor, one of our principal filleters and account manager teamed up with Bob Parkinson of 'Made by Bob' for his fish cookery class at the newly opened Thyme at Southrop. Bob cooked a fabulous array of seafood for the class including red mullet, bass, oysters and scallops. Oz has been responsible for training many of the up-and-coming New Wave filleters. At New Wave, we are dedicated to preparing fish properly and treating the product with the respect it deserves.
New Wave at Le Manoir

Gary Jones looks on as Oz fillets a whole cod at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons . We spent the afternoon there, demonstrating how we fillet certain species, and providing training for some of their junior staff. A good day was had by all.
