Pesky Fish Reviews 475

So, I received two packets of Wild welsh prawns today. Thought well I'll have one tonight! All Good ... looked up some recipes on-line, all looked to complikey for me ... being bit of lazy type! however just Melted some Anchor Spreadable (Wiltshire - Soft push :-) ) in a source pan, added the prawns, stirred for a few minutes, and there you have it!

Seriosly delicious fish. Also exciting waiting for the market to open to see what has been landed. Almost as good as standing on a quayside watching boxes being slid on the quay. Only missing the smell of sea, wind on your face and cold wet hands

Amazing quality fish at very realistic prices. Species on offer reflect what is abundant and caught better than most fishmongers. Slight glitch with my order dealt with within an hour of raising it. Fantastic customer service

Despite the warm day and the late delivery, resulting in melted ice bags, the product itself was fantastic.

1. good fish...although frozen it defrosts in the fridge well,and cooks well
2 very helpful when I needed to change delivery day

I always liked the fresh quality of the original Pesky market.
But it seems to confusingly have morphed into herd market at Barry Port.
Since then all fish has arrived frozen.
Now it seems to indicate frozen on the website, so draw your own conclusions.
To be fair there is nothing wrong with frozen fish.
My problem is I get high quality frozen fish from another source but cheaper.
Since it became herd market the prices seem to have risen, so I think I'm priced out of using it at the present time.

These guys seem to pop up, disappear, then pop up again. It just seems to unreliable. Now they are trading again. It's confusing though as they shut recently then emerged with Herd (farmers markets) distribution and now that has seemingly disappeared again from the Pesky website. We have tried to order three times this year. One was great, one was late and one was lost. That's not reliable enough for a small restaurant like us.

My second order from the resurrected Pesky Fish and I'm sorry to say this will be my last. When this company emerged a few years back it was, simply, brilliant. Limited stocks created a buzz of excitement and the quality was well worth the effort of being online at just the right time. Everything was excellent, super fresh and good value. Now not only have prices gone up but it seems you get less for your money. A first world problem for sure if you are ordering scallops, but the hand dived ones that arrived when they were first around were large and of superb quality. My latest order (great excitement at actually securing some) was basically really disappointing. Small, did not appear to be straight our of the water as they used to be and the flavour when cooked was not great. Yes, I do know how to cook a scallop properly. my previous order was This was a great idea and was a great business, but the new iteration seems to be a significant drop from the heights of where they once were.

Not sure what’s going on with Pesky fish.

I ordered fish last week then I get an email saying your delivery is delayed.

That’s it nothing from them I’ve emailed twice no answer and no refund.

What’s happened to you .

Yes I have a £75 voucher (present from my daughter) and now unable to use as the company no longer exists.
Terrible way to treat people.

Company has been disssolved leaving customers with unusable vouchers.

I have bought from Pesky a dozen times. The fish/scallops always arrive super-fresh. A fair price for exceptional seafood.

Delicious Scallops :)
Arrived as described , particularly like knowing the date they were shucked - very fresh

Scallops arrived well packed in recyclable materials and were perfect!

Great British fish delivered to your door fresh ? Why wouldn’t you?

Lovely fresh scallops and well packed and delivered on time.

Amazing - absolutely heavenly scallops

But was a hot day and an evening delivery and the ice bags were cool water. But the product was lovely.
