Shop History:

Why ‘Skipper’s’ you may ask. We named our local Fishmongers Skipper’s as a nod to the original Skipper at West Coast Sea Products: John King Senior. From there he went on to fish for Scallops and built West Coast Sea products to be what it is today: a fleet of five scallop fishing vessels with a factory that has over 100 local employees exporting Scottish Scallops across Europe. We first started to provide our local services in 2020 delivering fresh scallops to peoples’ doors. When demand grew, we invested in two mobile fishmonger vans that have been travelling around Dumfries and Galloway giving rural areas access to Scottish Seafood. Skipper’s Fishmongers is the next step in our local services, offering permanent shop with longer opening hours for the Kirkcudbright community and beyond. The local community was close to John King Senior’s heart, and we know he would have loved to see fresh local seafood, landed by our vessels, being sold in the heart of Kirkcudbright.

From sea to tray, the Skipper’s way!

Our scallops start their journey on our own boats, caught fresh and landed right into Kirkcudbright. From there, they’re carefully prepared in our factory before heading straight to Skipper’s Fishmonger.

And that’s not all, every bit of fish served at Skipper’s Scran Van comes from Skipper's Fishmonger, not just the scallops!

Fresh, local, and fully our own, just the way it should be!
