Best place to buy fresh and good tasting/healthy fish?

Stay away from the salmon,if you are looking for omega fresh mackerel are the way to go at this time of year,,,it would help if you said roughly where you are based.

⁷No, I did it as a work trip to Donegal . Brilliant . I landed home with the freshed fish .

Certainly not at this time of year

Trout probably farmed also..

Alot of the super market stuff is imported from south America,Asia etc,it says a lot when there's more demand for Irish fish in Spain, Italy etc, they know their fish in those countries, unfortunately the Irish customer is eating vaguely labeled fish not understanding it's origin or that it's cheaper for a reason, ask more questions about where it is caught, not the last place someone changed the label.

What Lidl has fresh fish ? I've never seen unpackaged fish in Lidl.

Still have a handful of fishmonger shops here in Limerick so I'm happy out. Way better than the supermarket fish counters.

If you're near Carlow, the Bates family from Kilmore have a shop there, proper fresh, and I mean that mornings catch is there.

Healthy fish is very very popular (and getting pricey) in Dublin, lots of fish mongers. Was out in Howth today stocking up, various deals going in each monger so the trick is to visit each one for max deals. If you're not in the capital might be worth a trip to stock up. Wrights in Fairview is good too.

There's plenty of trawlers, dolphins and whales! It's a huge body of water but the fish in the fishmongers I'm talking about come from local trawlers and everywhere else.

Highly unlikely that they stop at a fish farm in the south east as most of them are in the west. Much more likely that the salmon has passed through at least one wholesaler before it arrived to you in the south east. If they managed to source any wild salmon, they would likely be sold at a much higher price and almost certainly into an artisan smokers like Frank Hederman or to a restaurant or food service place.

Farmed Salmon is litreally one of most toxic things you can eat.

The Fish are vaccinated and then treated with chemicals to stop them being eaten alive by sea lice.

Just Google image farmed salmon sea lice.

Also The impact on the environment is massive. Billions of tonnes of wild fish are caught in trawlers inshore in places like dingle bay and then used as feed for the salmon.

Also any wild salmon passing by the cages can die from the sea lice. These cages are placed in sheltered bays in the west of ireland.

Eat wild fish from the trawlers. No chemicals or vaccines in cod,mackrel monk fish as an example.

Farmed salmon and trout are horrible to eat.

Mackerel is not in season now, not that oily or nice this time of year.

There's 2 fish vans local to me I'm lucky, everything from crab claws fresh cod
