Had a man knock at the door offering to sell fish but I saw no sign of a van or anything. Just feels slightly strange especially since an hour later I've seen the guy on the road. Wondered if anyone else had opened the door to him or can tell me I'm worrying needlessly. Thanks

Something a bit fishy Alice???
Actually. He came to my door too. We have previously bought fish from door to door sellers, but to be honest, I'm just not sure who these guys are nor the providence of what they are selling.
If I knew they were genuine fishermen/mongers and their fish was fresh and of high quality I would buy it- the problem is I just do not, and sadly it drives me into the arms of folks like Sainsbury's instead.
My worry was I didn't see any van or anything and it felt like a bit of an odd interaction. I'm just conscious of people looking for empty / vulnerable houses and I didn't get a good feeling this afternoon (normally I'm not a worrier)
I think the guy is genuinely selling fish....he door knocks first then delivers later. But as Justin says the quality of his stock is a bit hit and miss though.
Look up Soleshare if you want to know where your fish is coming from! You can choose a weekly or fortnightly collection - I get fortnightly. Highly recommend and it's the most ethical fish possible.
just looked up Soleshare - great idea but £70 per kg is a bit outrageous
Not sure how you worked that out, their pricing page gives price per month - so for me getting a half kilo twice a month it works out to £18 per kg. If you get shellfish it's always more like a kilo. Sometimes you get mussels (cheap), sometimes you get Dover sole or oysters. Crab is my favourite and that features quite often.
Sorry I miscalculated - you are right, it adds up to 2x deliveries of 0.5kg - which is approx. £18 per kg which compares favourably with Waitrose etc.
