“It's a rip off”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Stormypetrel on 28/11/2016

This is the worst online supplier I have ever used. The prices are very high, leaving one thinking that the portions will be good. Instead one pays over £11 for a 600 gram fish pie which appears to consist of little more than potato and a few small shrimps - stick with Waitrose or Sainsbury, better pies and several pounds cheaper. The other things supplied were equally as poor, e.g., crab cakes that are so thin as to be almost invisible. We shan't be using this supplier ever again and urge everyone to be very careful when thinking about ordering from them.

“Frustrating customer experience”

★★☆☆☆

written by 360Dickey on 05/07/2014

I will not use this supplier again. Their 64-page glossy brochure is impressive but they should have spent the money to improve the service. The packing list is full of cryptic abbreviations (e.g. muss/vinegar 1 jar) and I just discarded a tub of prawn & lemongrass soup because there was no use-by date on the box. But the worst happens if there is a delivery problem and you have to deal with the top manager. I think this man is rude, arrogant and too contemptuous to utter the shade of an apology. Maybe this why he hides behind a pseudonym – a bit fishy ?

“Very good but a bit expensive”

★★★★☆

written by on 03/06/2014

My son had ordered some cooked crab claws and cooked large prawns over Christmas but we found the prawns a bit salty. I reported this to you and a kind gentleman from your Fish Society telephoned me as he was quite concerned that I was not satisfied with what I had received. He kindly sent me a replacement of crab pate and some uncooked large raw prawns. I used the pate immediately but only recently had the opportunity to use the raw prawns because I wanted my son to try it when he came to visit us. The pate was good but the prawns were excellent. I butterflied some prawns and fried them in plain butter but the rest was cooked in a Spanish type Tapas dish which was cooked with a combination of a little butter, crushed garlic, tomato puree and a little chilli powder. This was excellent and the prawns were absolutely great. I cooked them in these two different ways for my own purpose to find out which was the best way to appreciate the prawns. Thank you for the replacement. It was grealy appreciated and enjoyed by all of us.

“Late and incredibly rude”

★☆☆☆☆

written by annad4 on 28/03/2014

I ordered £56 worth of crab claws for a dinner party. I was sent an email saying that delivery would be before 4:15pm. I called up at 4:30pm when I still hadn't received my delivery and was told that they can't get hold of the driver. At 4:50pm I get a call from a man at The Fish Society who was incredibly rude. There were no apologise for the lateness. When I suggested that they should give better guidance for the delivery time, he shouted at me saying that they can't guide for a delivery before 6:45pm or else some people would not be happy. So, they are deliberately misleading people in order to capture more customers. He also said it's because of my postcode that it's late. I live in Shepherds Bush, which is hardly out in the sticks. The overall tone on the phone was appallingly rude. The customer is not always right but in this case, I think some honesty in their delivery guidance would have helped and a more polite tone would have softened an anxious & annoyed customer. I would caution anyone from using them. Whoever it was on the phone, should never be allowed to speak to customers. The delivery arrived eventually at 6:55pm.

Didn't order fish on this occasion - just beautiful scallop shells for use in baptism. Extremely good service, well packed and intact with them arriving first thing on the day requested. Shells used the following Sunday

“Plenty More Fish in he Sea. Or are there?”

★★★★★

written by Tristinp6 on 21/03/2014

The Fish Society appears to take the preservation of fish stocks very seriously. They excel at supplying to me Dover Sole and Turbot fillets as well as the less expensive species. Their literature is presented in an engaging manner and I value the loyalty bonuses which I accrue in advance of making further purchases. All weights are given in metric but they will indulge you if you insist on conversion to imperial! Friendly responsive service with the knowledge that they will respond promptly to any complaint or query submitted.

“Fantastic Service”

★★★★★

Fish box arrived when it was supposed to. Fish was excellent. Loved the shellfish. Discounts applied automatically. Would recommend it to anyone. Very happy. Some bits of fish are of very good value. Sardines could have been a bit fatter.Whelks were gorgeous.

“Expensive. Worth it”

★★★★☆

written by guest453563452352 on 19/03/2014

For everyday fish i go to my affordable supermarket. But for anything interesting or exotic this is my place. I also would not eat prawns from anywhere else - once you've tried you'll see what i mean - they are amazing and dont shrink to half their size when cooked. The flavor is also delicious & fresh. I wish they offered some gluten free stuff in their ready meal selection but i guess you can't have it all. But they do have escargo so i always keep some at the ready in the freezer!

Well, after the initial fiasco, the fish was delivered on time the very next day and we (all six of us) had a very enjoyable shellfish meal. The service is second to none!
