Retail fish counter on the Fish Quay, with thirty-plus varieties selected daily off the quayside.
About Phil's Plaice
Phil's Plaice is a retail fishmonger set right on the Fish Quay at Clifford's Fort, selling fish and seafood landed and traded a few steps away. The counter carries more than thirty varieties chosen fresh each day, from whole fish to local crab.
The promise is quay-to-counter freshness, taking advantage of North Shields' status as a working fishing port. For anyone cooking at home, it is one of the best reasons to make the trip down to the Quay.
