Our products
We sell a wide variety of shellfish and fish from local sources and further a field from our café in Old Leigh. We are open seven days a week all year, apart from Christmas Day.
Health benefits
Research shows that seafood is low in calories, high in protein and rich in vitamins, minerals and natural oils which make a valuable and in some cases unique contribution to the supply of essential nutrients needed to ensure that the human body can maintain itself in a state of good physical and mental health (The Fish Foundation, 2004).
Cockles
Cockles still grow naturally in several areas around the coast of Britain but the cockles caught, cooked and sold by Osborne Bros are sourced from the Thames Estuary where they have been growing for centuries.
The season to catch cockles runs for six months of the year from around May to October time. Once caught, the cockles are brought back in on the boat, unloaded into the factory and cooked, washed and packaged ready to be sold locally, nationally and internationally.
Smoked products
We smoke a range of products in our own smokehouse including salmon, prawns, eels, kippers, sprats and mussels. Our salmon is sourced from Scotland and then hot smoked over locally sourced oak sawdust and chippings for 12 hours to release the flavour into the products.
Shellfish
We source a wide selection of shellfish including potted shrimps, brown shrimps, north Atlantic prawns, king prawns, oysters, mussels, whelks, winkles, lobster, crab, clams and scampi. We also make seafood platters to individual requirements. We supply to local businesses and direct to the consumer.
Fish
We sell a variety of fish products ranging from jellied eels, smoked eels, roll mops, fresh salmon, poached salmon, anchovies, white bait and mackerel.
We are able to source any other fish or shellfish that you require.
