When it comes to seafood, freshness isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. At Hamilton’s Fish, we take this to heart. That’s why we go beyond the standard approach and work differently from most online seafood suppliers.
We don’t store fish in freezers, waiting for orders to come in. We don’t cut corners on packing. And we certainly don’t treat your order like just another parcel.
Instead, we treat every order as if it’s going to our own table. Here’s how we ensure your fish is delivered fresh, perfectly packed, and full of flavour — every single time.
🐟 Freshly Sourced to Order – Not Sitting on a Shelf
At the core of everything we do is a simple but powerful promise:
We don’t hold stock. Ever.
When you place an order on our website and select your delivery date, we go to work. We source the fish fresh, prepare it in-house — whether that means filleting, skinning or portioning — and we pack it for dispatch on the very same day.
This means you get the freshest possible fish — not something that’s been sitting around in storage waiting to be sold.
It’s a just-in-time system that’s rare in our industry, and it’s one of the things our customers love most.
📦 Carefully Packed for Freshness & Convenience
We believe that how your fish is packed is just as important as where it comes from. That’s why every item is:
Vacuum packed for freshness
Clearly labelled for ease of storage
Packed in eco-friendly cardboard boxes with wool insulation
Surrounded by frozen gel packs to maintain the ideal chilled temperature in transit
Whether you're storing it in the fridge for the next few days or freezing it for later, your fish will arrive in prime condition and ready to use.
🚚 Reliable Delivery – Local & Nationwide
We’re proud to offer flexible delivery options to suit our customers wherever they are:
Nationwide Delivery (via DPD):
Orders are shipped in insulated packaging with frozen gel packs
Delivered by DPD, who provide a 1-hour time slot on the day

Optional upgrade: DPD by 1pm delivery for added convenience
Local Delivery (by our own team):

And don’t worry — you choose your delivery day at checkout, so you’re always in control. Whether you’re planning a weekend dinner or stocking the fridge for the week, your seafood will arrive exactly when you want it.
❄️ Eco-Friendly, Chilled, and Safe
We’ve carefully chosen our packaging to be both sustainable and effective:
Wool insulation: Keeps your fish cool while being biodegradable
Frozen gel packs: Maintain a safe chilled temperature for hours
Vacuum seals: Lock in flavour and extend freshness
Use-by dates on every pack: So you know exactly how long you have
The vast majority of our products are delivered fresh, not frozen, with just a few items (like prawns) arriving frozen for quality reasons. Everything is also suitable for freezing at home for up to 3 months, if needed.
