5 healthy food shops you probably didn’t know about
Out of the Blue
Chorlton, Manchester
Fresh fishmongers are increasingly difficult to find in towns these days. Locating a good one is nearly impossible! With the larger supermarkets offering fresh fish counters and a large selection of frozen produce, it’s easy to see why the convenience of buying everything in one place has put lots of local fishmongers out of business. Shops such as Out of the Blue remind us why it’s so important to support local traders. The counter is stacked with crushed ice, brimming with seafood, fillets, steak and whole fish. The staff know exactly where the fish has been sourced and can even help advise as to how best to cook it. Service and knowledge like that is priceless. The fish looks and tastes fresher than any I’ve ever bought at the supermarket. They’ll even vacuum pack it for you if you want to take it home to freeze.
