Let’s touch on the salmon topic… 🥴

Whilst we would absolutely love to have wild salmon all year round that is just not something that can happen anymore. We had a number of them in the summer through their season and we loved the enthusiasm from those of you that bought them and enjoyed every mouthful you had. That being said they come with the price tag and unfortunately that’s not something for everyone at the moment either.

Salmon remains one of Scotland’s biggest exports and top fish eaten on a weekly basis and that has to come from somewhere. Whilst there is a lot of controversy over fish farms, we spend a lot of time navigating our way through the real facts and the myths. As believe us there is a lot of myths and misinformation. This has lead us on our journey to finding the best salmon for you in our shop. This is why we have chosen Loch Duart Salmon As we value their care and the consistent high quality salmon that they produce. They have a number of accreditations one being The Ike Jime Federation They were the first salmon farm in the world to get Ikejime quality certified, which a testament to their quality. 🤌🍣

Just look at how beautiful those fillets look? Have you tried them yet? We can offer whole salmon, sides of salmon or as fillet portions. No matter what you are planning for dinner we have you covered. 🫶

We can’t quite believe we are saying this but let’s talk about Christmas!!!! 🫣🫣

We weren’t ready to accept the time of year but you lot clearly are as we have had plenty questions about our Christmas ordering book. 😱

So we are here to say we are now officially opening our Christmas books 😅😅

Now don’t all rush in at once let’s just remember we have 71 days to go 😅 so nobody panic and freak out 🤣

We will need as much information from you as possible to make sure we get your quantities right but please remember if you forget to add something on we can add it at a later date if you need to.

So let George Hughes take care of your Christmas dinner needs and get your orders in! 🐟🎣🎄

Can you believe it… WE ARE TURNING 2 TODAY!! 🎉🥳🎂

George Hughes may have been open for 102 years before our lot moved in but what a 2 years it has been for us as a team in the heart of Bruntsfield. Can you believe 104 years of one business thriving in the same place and we are now apart of that legacy?! 😱

We want to take a minute and show our appreciation to every single one of our LOYAL customers, regular and new. You all show up week in, week out to support us and are the very backbyone of what is made possible for our wee small business. ❤️

The UK has not been kind to small businesses, especially over the last 2 years and with growing problems on the daily challenging us, we really wouldn’t be able to continue what we do and love without your support, whether that has been shopping with us or following and sharing on our socials. Every ounce of support does not go unnoticed from us here at Hughes. 👏

We love our little team and being able to be apart of your local community and the wider ones to, as we’re always so shocked how far some of you travel for little old us 🥹. So here is to the next year and we will see what year 3 brings for us and you.

We will always strive to bring you the freshest fish in Edinburgh and the biggest variety possible, we have loved your feedback along the way about what you think has improved since we started this journey. Our customers are what makes us always want to be the best at what we do! ❤️

Happy 2nd Birthday to us and lots of love from the George Hughes Team x ❤️

Our Fishmongers offers the best selection of fresh fish & seafood at the best possible price, sourcing the vast majority of stock from suppliers in Scotland.
