For over two decades, Wright Brothers has sourced the finest sustainable seafood from across the UK and Europe. The family-owned seafood specialist supplies over 750 restaurants nationwide, including Michelin-starred chefs, and runs three of their own London restaurants in Borough, South Kensington and Battersea – plus a recently reopened Art Deco basement bar, called The Mermaid.
With a coastal depot in Brixham landing some of the UK’s freshest fish daily (and after navigating the challenges of the pandemic), Wright Brothers At Home launched in 2020, supporting the fishing community through their most challenging year. The premium online fishmonger delivers the same restaurant-quality seafood they supply to London’s top chefs, shore to door, so you can enjoy the best seafood from the comfort of your own home, all within 48 hours of being caught.
Every day starts the same: up before dawn, Wright Brothers’ expert buyers hand-pick the finest catch from local fishermen, and their skilled blockmen expertly prepare it, ready for you to enjoy at home. This Christmas, why not trade turkey for something a little more memorable? From whole fish as a show-stopping centrepiece on your festive table to premium oysters and luxury shellfish platters, there’s something for every occasion.

Co-founders and brothers-in-law Ben Wright and Robin Hancock share their top tips for serving up seafood, celebrating, and stress-free entertaining this Christmas.
Reel in the canapes
No festive gathering is complete without a few irresistible bites to get the conversation flowing. Keep things simple but special: smoked salmon blinis, pigs in blankets, prawn cocktails, and of course, freshly shucked oysters. Wright and Hancock love to swap classic smoked salmon for vibrant beetroot gravlax – a pop of colour that makes a beautiful festive spread.
Shake up the centrepiece
When it comes to the main event, think beyond the traditional roast. Wright and Hanock often trade turkey for a whole roast market fish. Brill is one of their favourites, a delicious flat fish which is highly underrated. It may not be as popular as the better-known turbot, but it’s usually great value for money, and many prefer it for its sweet, delicate flavour. It’s simple to prepare, striking to serve, and perfect for sharing around the table. Wright and Hanock like to channel a little Aussie spirit at Christmas and fire up the barbecue to cook the fish centrepiece. It keeps things super relaxed, adds incredible flavour, and frees up precious oven space for all those must-have trimmings.
Drink like a fish
No celebration is complete without something special to toast. Pop a bottle of Wright Brothers Piper-Heidsieck Essential Champagne or sip a Wright Brothers Half Shell Gin Martini to get the party started. Wright and Hanock believe breakfast is crucial to curing the night before. Ease into the morning with a bacon and scallop roll – a classic fisherman’s breakfast. For those by the sea, a brisk cold-water dip beforehand makes it even more memorable.
Plan ahead or flounder later
Preparation is the secret to stress-free entertaining. Stock your pantry, fill your freezer, and place your Wright Brothers Christmas order early, as delivery slots fill up fast. Make this festive season one to remember, the Wright way.
