Osborne’s New Fishmonger & Seafood School in Elm Road

We opened our second fishmongers located in central Leigh, at 44 Elm Road in December 2022. The premises has lots of history connected to seafood, and we have paid homage to this in the design and presentation of the shop. Featuring a traditional fishmongers, eating area and a brand new concept Seafood School to the rear, where people come and learn how to fillet, prepare and cook seafood. Customers can sit in to eat and have a glass of something to go with it, as we are fully licensed. We offer a range of food, including our Hot Menu as well as ready to eat seafood, poke bowls, smoked salmon, pates, prawns, and of course cockles. Our 'At Home' range is also available in the shop.

Whilst renovating the building, we felt it was very important to bring touches of local history to the building. The wooden boards that you see in our shop are reclaimed hardwood boards from Southend Pier - which of course, have their own story to tell. You will notice the sign to the rear of the shop - G Fuller - Fishmongers and Poulterers. This was the original shop signage that we found hidden behind the old shop sign of V Mattacks. We have not tried to touch up the sign as it is beautifully sign written by hand and in remarkable condition considering its age of roughly 60 years!

The brick slips you see around the top edge of the shop are original London Stock bricks which we sourced locally from a building renovation.
