Stein’s Fisheries opened in 2012 selling fresh fish, shellfish and pre-prepared seafood dishes, as well as lobsters, crabs, fishcakes, seafood salads, salmon, prawn and crab sandwiches. Recently a casual seafood bar was introduced to sit alongside our fish counter, where customers can tuck into some of the best seafood from our shores and some of Rick’s favourite wines.
