Davies

Top choice in Norfolk


Less a fish shop, more a local institution – at Davies the crab is caught by its own day boat (the Richard William) and then boiled, cracked and dressed on-site. Other treats include cockles, mussels and homemade pâté; the mackerel and horseradish pâté has quite a kick.

They'll pack purchases in ice if you're not eating them right away.
