What’s in Season? Summer’s Best from the English Channel By The Boathouse Fisheries, Hythe

At The Boathouse Fisheries in Hythe, we’re proud to source directly from Kent coast day boats, bringing you the freshest possible catch from the English Channel.

So, what’s seasonal right now?

Mackerel – A summer staple! This oily fish is at its peak, perfect for grilling, barbecuing, or pan-frying. Rich in flavour and omega-3.

Brown Crab – In abundance this time of year. Try it in a dressed crab salad or as part of a cold seafood platter.

Lobster – Caught locally and full of flavour. Whether grilled with garlic butter or served cold, it’s a summer showstopper.

Sea Bass – A light, flaky white fish that's perfect for simple summer dishes. Try it whole on the BBQ with lemon and samphire.

Turbot – A prized flatfish with firm, delicate flesh. Ideal for roasting or steaming with seasonal vegetables.

Brill – Another Channel favourite. Mild, sweet flavour and a wonderful texture. Great for pan-frying or oven-baking.

Dover Sole – A true classic. Elegant, buttery, and best cooked simply to let the flavour shine.

By working with small day boats along the Kent coast, we ensure minimal food miles, support local fishing communities, and provide our customers with the highest quality seafood – responsibly caught and full of flavour.
