Sopers sounds better but a long walk as I no longer Drive.


Sopers is a Real Wet Fish shop established 1897. Fully trained staff who know about Fish.


Moxons comes nowhere near. It's a shop that sells fish.

Then go to the supermarket as going to local shops sounds too arduous for you but don't come hobbling to me when they are gone


As for moxons their staff are also trained fishmongers but a slightly bigger organisation than sopers


Your question has been answered with two local options so now you have a choice of three places to go and you can take your pick of whichever suits your preferences (cost vs distance vs size)

Sadly no one can solve your problems for you

I've never queued up for 45 mins at Moxons. Sometimes 10-15 mins, I suppose.


They prep (descale, gut, fillet if you like) the fish on the spot, just like Sopers and other fishmongers do. THAT'S WHY THERE'S A WAIT. I admit they're quite expensive, but what you're saying about them is just not true and makes me doubt that you've even been in there. Maybe glanced in and seen the freezers on the right.


Daft thread. Don't know why I took the bait (ha). Shouldn't get reeled in (ha ha).

There were 20 people (I counted them) in the Moxon queue yesterday (Sat)

so at 2 minutes per person that would be 40 mins.

Your maths is not your strong point foxy


1 server 20 people yes 40 minutes

However as there are often multiple servers on a busy day then that time goes down exponentially and rapidly.


Maybe try an experience and cross the threshold you may well be pleasantly surprised at how quick you do, quality of stock and knowledge of the staff


And if you are really lucky they may even have your all time favourite "crabby" sticks

Oh no


However if it's that important, you can always contact them a day in advance and order what you want.


Tell me foxy, do you get "pleasure" from moaning and finding fault ?


 

Foxy so one can conclude you want quality large scallops, priced cheaply, very close to where you live, but not the closest fishmonger to you, meanwhile you don?t want to queue in case they?ve run out of what you want when you get to the front of the queue, and you want to walk straight in and get served immediately.

If you?d been more specific at the start I could have told you: Nowhere.

Did I mention anything about the Quality ?


priced cheaply,


I would expect to pay a Reasonable price.


very close to where you live,


Yep .. East Dulwich ..Peckham .. Brixton


but not the closest fishmonger to you,


2 previous bad experiances on the 2 times I have been there


meanwhile you don?t want to queue in case they?ve run out of what you want when you get to the front of the queue,


I need to know if they even stock them. Nothing on their website under 'Our Products'


and you want to walk straight in and get served immediately.


I queue for most other things If I know they have what I require..


If you?d been more specific at the start I could have told you: Nowhere.


Always helpful K.K.


Fox

If you don?t want best quality scallops you shouldn?t be buying them at all. Dredged scallops are environmentally disastrous, very small and not worth the money. You should only want the best, freshest scallops.


You want to pay a reasonable price? Are you aware that *at least* ?20 per kg is a reasonable price. Put another way, each good scallop will cost you ?2 or more.


I only buy fish at Sopers, but Jason is on holiday right now. Wait until he comes back then go there. Moxons are fine, but if you don?t want to go there right now you?ll have to wait a couple of weeks until Jason has finished lazing around a barbecue in Sussex.

I do not need a Kilo. I want about 4 large scallops. a Portion.


I don't even know if I will like them.


Just thought I would try them after so many people raving on about them on Chefy TV programmes .

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
