Flying Fish Named Best Fish Supplier at the Members' Choice Awards 2026
Flying Fish has been named Best Fish Supplier at the Members' Choice Awards 2026, a prestigious accolade voted for by hospitality professionals across the UK.
The award recognises the suppliers that consistently deliver outstanding products, exceptional service and trusted support to professional kitchens. Winning the Best Fish Supplier category reflects Flying Fish's commitment to sourcing the finest seafood, supporting the fishing industry and delivering exceptional quality to chefs across the UK.
Delivering the Finest Seafood to Britain's Best Kitchens
Founded in 2006, Flying Fish supplies some of the UK's leading chefs, building its reputation on a simple but uncompromising promise: delivering the best seafood the country has to offer within 48 hours of being caught.
Its 'Ship to Plate in 48' philosophy is at the heart of the business, ensuring customers receive seafood at its very freshest while maintaining the highest standards of quality and consistency.
Sourcing with Passion and Provenance
For almost two decades, Flying Fish's buyers have been selecting the finest day boat catch from Westcountry markets before sunrise, working closely with local fishermen and suppliers who play a vital role in supporting both the local community and the future of the fishing industry.
These long-standing relationships not only ensure access to exceptional seafood but also preserve the knowledge, history and traditions of Britain's fishing communities. The company believes this close connection with the industry is fundamental to supplying premium produce while helping customers better understand the stories behind the fish they serve.
Committed to Responsible Fishing
Flying Fish is dedicated to responsible sourcing and maintaining the highest industry standards. Every fish is carefully selected and fully traceable back to fisheries and vessels operating under strict sustainable policies.
By following guidance from marine conservation groups and meeting the demanding standards of the Responsible Fishing Scheme, the company actively promotes sustainable seafood while helping educate customers on responsible sourcing practices.
Supporting Hospitality Through Expertise
The fishing industry is central to Flying Fish's identity, with many members of the team having strong connections to either commercial fishing or the restaurant trade. This shared passion for seafood drives the company to deliver the quality, service and expertise that hospitality professionals have come to expect.
Despite the challenges of transporting fresh seafood within a narrow delivery window, Flying Fish remains committed to providing chefs with the freshest possible ingredients, ensuring every delivery arrives in peak condition.
Proud to deliver the finest seafood in an efficient and personal way, Flying Fish continues to bring a true taste of Cornwall to professional kitchens across the UK.
