Pengelly's Fishmongers
For 50 years a family tradition (now stocking local veg too!) Angie and Jackie Pengelly are descendents of a long line of fishermen and boat owners. Their grandfather, Jack, set up the business and his predecessors sold fish from a horse and cart around the Looe area. This family clearly know what they're talking about when it comes to seafood. All the wet fish on the counter in Pengelly's is local, except salmon when out of season, and is referred to as 'day caught fish'. Angie explains, "Looe has a harbour that dries out at low tide so no beam trawlers or large boats can use it. The small local fleet have to get
 in and out as quickly as the tide will allow and therefore the fish is exceptionally fresh."

You'll find Pengellys at...  The Quay, East Looe. Tel: 01503 262246 and 2 The Arcade, Fore Street, Liskeard. Tel: 01579 340777
