It all started with a rented table in Borough Market..
Shellseekers Fish & Game is located in the famous Borough Market and known for offering an excellent selection of quality produce including fresh fish and shellfish from the South West, cured & smoked fish, venison, wild boar and game birds.
Our Captain, Darren Brown, has been a long-standing trader at Borough and very much one of the founding members of the present market. Darren started selling his shellfish from a rented table in the market in 1997, which then became an established stall which now has pride of place in the most famous food market in England.
Boat to Borough in 24 hours
Sustainability is Paramount
We're proud to support fishermen in Dorset and ensure all marine produce meets strict standards.
We work closely with our fishermen, including Joe and Levi who are proud to be 10th generation fishermen in Lulworth Cove. We have a deep understanding and appreciation for the importance of quality and sustainability.
Shellseekers' boat 'Goldfish' is moored in Poole harbour, and catches some of the finest line-caught sea bass, getting them from 'Boat to Borough' within 24 hours.
We operate under the Marine Management Operation
Wild and seasonal...
Our game meats, venison and wild boar, are carefully sourced, with every animal tagged for traceability.
Venison stalking is undertaken by a small team of professional stalkers to ensure the utmost animal welfare.
Our game meat is strictly government-controlled, and all of our meats comply with handling and hygiene regulations.
We stock our own venison, Peter Gott's wild boar, and a range of game birds when in season.
The Diver in the Shellseekers logo
Along the way, although Shellseekers may rebrand and change its appearance, the diver in Shellseekers Fish and Game logo will always remain. He holds a very sentimental place in the history of Shellseekers.
He was drawn by ex-British Royal Navy submarine rescue pilot Mark 'Buck' Taylor, whom Darren holds in very high regard. Darren is honoured to be godfather to his son, Harvey.
