Seafood at Borough Market

Borough Market is home to some of the best fish and shellfish in Britain: the hand-dived scallops at Shellseekers, the Morecombe Bay shrimp at Furness Markets, Richard Haward’s Mersea oysters, the Abroath smokies brought down to London by Oak & Smoke. It also enjoys the presence of several restaurants that specialise in seafood.

To celebrate the expertise of our fishmongers and chefs, we’ve gathered up a selection of interviews, recipes and podcast episodes.
