super fresh fish! 
Their fish comes in fresh daily from local day boats, operating off the coast from Plymouth to Brixham. Included in their fine array of local fresh fish are: local Sea Bass, Mackerel, Pollack, Ling, Cod, Tuna, Swordfish, Monkfish, Lemon Sole, Plaice, Turbot, Brill, Dover Sole, Salmon & much more. Oysters, Mussels and shellfish, Squid and most things fishy! Their Scallops are also really good! They also do special lobster and crab boxes. Plus you know that their lobster is going to be as fresh as you can get as it is kept live in their keep in the estuary until it is cooked. Not only do they sell seafood, but they have a wide range of fishing rods and reels, with an extensive selection of tackle, lures, feathers etc for boat and shore fishing. Children's crab lines, buckets and spades, fishing nets, beach balls, body boards, skimboards, windbreaks, sun tan cream, hats, beach goods, portable barbeques, firelighters and lump charcoal are all available. This is a great fishmongers and its really nice to see that places like this still exist. This is loving local at its best

an afternoon on the high seas.... 
Salcombe Boat Hire has is situated as sort of part of the fish mongers. It is here that you come to get all you need for a fun day out on Salcombe Estuary. You can hire out self drive boats varying in size depending on how may people are going. From something quite small such as spinner to a cabin boat holding up to 8 -10 people. Boats can be hired for an hour, four hours, daily or weekly. Life jackets, maps and instructions are all supplied to make your day enjoyable. Prices vary on the type of boat you hire and you also have to pay for the petrol you use. That also something to remember that you only have a limited amount of petrol so dont forget to keep an eye on it or you ll have to use the oars!!! During high season it might be worth booking in advance, you can either do this on the phone or by going into the shop. This is a good service and makes for a really nice day especially when the weather is good. There are certain restictions as to where you can take your boat, for example you cant anchor on the East Portlemouth side, but there is still plenty to explore. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
