Estuary Fish Online has been a long establishe company of shellfish and fish suppliers across the UK for more than 60 years. Although our grandfather did not have the selection that we know today.   He first stated trading under the name of Arthur Dench and sons, in 1947 with only a few items cockles, eels, shrimps and winkles, and these were served from outside the wooden looped shutters on a trestle table, all piled up and sold in pints and half pints for a few pennies. The cockles were fished in old Leigh and the boats went out on the tide and returned on the next, as all the cockles were raked by hand this was extremely hard work. They were collected into baskets put into the hold of the cockle boat . On retuning to shore the cockles were again put back into the baskets and carried on yokes around the fisherman’s necks.
