From the sea to your door

As a business at the heart of the Weymouth community, we're doing everything in our power to support the local area during the current pandemic. From keeping the local fishing fleet in work, by opening our newly renovated shop 7-days a week, providing a home delivery service 5-days a week, and sending our retail van to Dorchester 3-days a week, plus making a weekly donation of frozen produce to the Weymouth Foodbank.

The new shop is much more spacious with strict social distancing measures in place and contactless payments only, giving peace of mind that every precaution is being taken to ensure the health and safety of customers and staff. With not everyone able to leave the house, we've launched a contact-free home delivery service, delivering daily, Monday to Friday in the Weymouth, Portland, Dorchester, Preston and Portesham areas.

For those in the Dorchester area, the Weyfish Seafood Shack retail van is located in Unit 1, Retail Park, Curry’s PC World car park, DT1 2RY, every Wednesday and Friday from 10 am - 4 pm and has proved hugely popular with the local community.

With restrictive lockdown measures in place and supermarket delivery slots hard to come by, these new services are being welcomed by many of our customers. Stock changes daily, but we always have a fantastic selection of freshly caught Dorset fish and shellfish available including crab, lobster, skate, bass, mullet, turbot brill, plaice, and Dover sole.

Sean Cooper, Owner of Weyfish said, “With many customers struggling to access food delivery services from supermarkets, this is a vital time for local food producers to step up and support the local community however they can. The reopening of the new larger Weyfish premises and the launch of our new delivery service will keep the local fishing fleet working during these difficult times and allow us to get good quality produce to the people who need it most.”
