Landed at Dawn.
On Your Table by Evening.
We buy directly from small day-boats and crab-and-lobster potters around the UK coast — never from supertrawlers, never frozen in transit. What comes off the boat this morning is what we sell today.
We didn't build another fishmonger.
We built a compass.
Meridian Catch exists because most seafood counters can't tell you which boat something came off, or when. We can. Every order is traced back to a named day-boat or a named potter, working a stretch of UK coast we know personally.
Our Sustainability Promise →Four Coasts.
One Compass.
Sea Bass, Crab, Mackerel
Day-boats working inshore waters off the South West, landing within sight of the quay they sell from.
Salmon, Langoustine, Scallops
Cold, clean lochs and a handful of small-scale producers we've dealt with for years.
Cod, Herring, Cockles
Traditional North Sea grounds, worked by boats that go out and back inside a day.
Lobster, Oysters, Mussels
Pot-caught shellfish from a coastline of small harbours and family-run boats.
Day-Boats Only
Nothing from supertrawlers or factory ships. Every boat we buy from goes out and comes back inside a day.
Never Bottom-Trawled
We buy from potters, netters and line-catchers — methods that don't drag the seabed.
Quota-Honest
When a species is out of season or under pressure, we take it off the counter. No exceptions.
The Hands Behind
Every Catch.
"Some mornings it's a good haul, some mornings it's barely worth the diesel. Either way, it's honest work, and it's fresh off my boat by the time it reaches the counter."

We won't sell you a fish we wouldn't cook for our own family. If the boat didn't come in today, it isn't on the counter today.— Meridian Catch, founding principle
We Sell the Catch.
You Make the Feast.
A Friday-night fish supper. A summer shellfish platter shared outdoors. The langoustines that turn a barbecue into an occasion. That's where our work ends up — which is why we take the first twenty-four hours so seriously.
