Walter Purkis & Sons

In the business for more than 45 years, Walter Purkis must have scaled, gutted and filleted a fair few fish in his time. While he’s at the helm of the Muswell Hill branch, son John runs the Crouch End branch, which also has an on-site smoker that keeps both shops stocked with smoked salmon, haddock, kippers and mackerel. The Purkis family focus on supplying fish from Devon and Cornwall and opt for wild where possible. Highlights of the summer months include wild Scottish salmon, sea trout and fresh samphire.
