Ben's Fish Ltd.

The company was founded by Ben Woodcraft 12 years ago. Ben was an inshore fisherman, located on the Essex coast, with twenty years experience who began by selling his own catch to London's top restaurants.

He saw a gap in the market for top quality seasonal produce. The business grew with Ben sourcing more and more for his London customers.

The business has grown by reputation and has now had to expand.

Inspiration from the local environment

In 2006 Ben bought Rewsalls Old Barn a listed traditional Essex Barn. It has been lovingly restored and now houses the business.It can be found in East Mersea on Mersea Island and has fantastic views of the estuary.

West Mersea has a thriving fishing industry and it is famous for its oysters which are cultivated in the estuary.

Ben's Fish is ideally placed to liase directly with local fishermen, farmers and growers from around the East Coast.
