We’re delighted to welcome The Grimsby Fish Company to Tong

We’re pleased to welcome mobile fishmonger Jody Douglass from The Grimsby Fish Company to Tong. Jody sells the freshest fish and shellfish from a bespoke van at the entrance to Tong Garden Centre between 10 am and 2 pm every Wednesday and he’s proving very popular with our customers.

Jody, who has been in the fish trade for 24 years, is delighted to add Tong to his rounds that include the Station Pub in Crigglestone, Binks Butcher’s in East Ardsley and New Inn Walton Market. He said: “Tong’s customers have been very welcoming and appreciate the high quality and the freshness of the fish that is sold on the day it is caught.

“I source my fish mainly from Grimsby, but I have access to all the fish markets in the UK and have several day boat contacts to ensure I always have a great selection for my customers. Haddock, and our fantastic RSPCA Freedom Food Accredited salmon are always good sellers, followed by our Sashimi grade tuna and dive-caught king scallops.”

Tong Garden Centre manager, Paul Adams, is delighted with the addition of The Grimsby Fish Company: “Jody’s fish complements our fresh fruit and vegetable offering at the entrance of the centre and has been well received by customers.”

Jody joins Porters, who have a fruit and vegetable stall outside Tong from Wednesday to Sunday every week.
