Osborne Bros Café and Osborne & Sons Fishmongers opening times for this festive season!

We are so excited to announce that our second fishmongers has opened in Leigh, at 44 Elm Road. Featuring a traditional fishmongers and a brand new concept Seafood School to the rear, where people can come and learn how to fillet, prepare and cook seafood. We are offering a range of ready to eat seafood, including poke bowls, smoked salmon, pates, prawns, and of course cockles. Our 'At Home' range is also available in the shop.

We are absolutely delighted to share that we are the winners of the Great British Food Awards in the Fish and Seafood category for our cooked cockles.

Introducing our 'At Home' range. With our super talented culinary team, we have created a collection of our favourite dishes, both classic and modern to either finish in the oven or to put together yourself following a few simple steps.

We have just kicked off this year’s cockle season on Sunday 16th June. We’ll be cockling until the beginning of October this year.

As the sun is once again gracing us with its presence, it seems only fitting that our recipe should have something of a barbecue feel to it.

This is one for the more advanced chefs out there, adopted from a recipe served at the Sportsman at Seasalter, 2015’s gastropub of the year.

Fish and wine pairings are somewhat plentiful, but a little known fact is that beer can compliment a seafood dish just as well, if not better, than wine.

Those who have seen scallops served on Masterchef will admit to a certain trepidation when it comes to the cooking time. With our easy to follow guide you needn’t fear!

Mackerel is classified as an oily fish, and is closely related to tuna, as a result it is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein and vitamin D.

We source our premium salmon from Loch Duart or Wester Ross in Scotland, those in the know will recognise these as amongst the best sources of fresh Atlantic salmon.

Hake is a fish from the same family as cod and haddock, and can grow up to 1 metre in length in their 14 year lifespan.
