Is this a regular visit? If so when?

Yup regular. Sorry I would have snapped a shot of his stock and prices if I had thought properly.
Cheers for the info @Pauline I knew he was regular but not the ins and outs. Maybe someone should tell him about the void left by Waters

May be a naive suggestion - but is there some way of sharing the formerly-Waters shopfront between multiple pop-up vendors? Fish man on Thursday, florist at Valentines, baker + coffee in the morning etc?

I was thinking more of letting him know, so he can stick a cheeky sign up to say when he is about. And maybe contact info for any requests.
After all, fresh fish is wanted around here by all accounts. Might as well help him supply what people are after.

Grant the fish man is, as suggested, a regular on Thursday. Happy chap and will take orders if you ask or text him. His fish is very good and very fresh.

Does sound a great alternative though for us regular 9-5 workers M-F may be a once a blue moon shop. Though I do work from home the odd Thursday.

He is there from around 7am. I used to take a cool bag, stick the fish in it and then stick it in the work fridge. Or, when feeling energetic take it home and then go to the office.

FC Soper in Nunhead are very good if you have transport or can bus/cycle there.
Totally agreed. We used to use Moxon’s in East Dulwich until we discovered Soper’s many years ago. Have not looked back since. Moxon’s are not bad but Soper’s is better, cheaper and open on a Sunday.

Is there a decent butchers/veg store as well in Nunhead? If I go to somewhere like ED for food its usually because I’ve a special dinner in planning. If I went to Nunhead for fish I’d want to do the rest of the shopping in one location.
Yes plus a bakery and butcher although not as good as The Butchery.
I love the Butchery and usually get something special there each week. But I also love William Rose in ED and will often stock up for the freezer when I go there.
I follow a very similar pattern to you. The William Rose Butchers Box that they have started to do recently is really good value. Still love the Butchery though, particularly when you can pop in on a Sunday morning for an impromptu roast lunch as a far better alternative to any supermarket meat.

Also rate the Butchery but tend to use Proud Sow in Crofton Park as is easier to cycle to from Honor Oak. Pretty much the same as William Rose (except the game which WR are good for) just without the massive queues. Understand the point re fishmonger and butcher in one place, used to do that but rarely do now. Judicious use of the freezer!
All good butchery options (and all a little bit different). Drings in Greenwich is worth the trip as well and has a great fishmonger / grocer / cheese shop all conveniently close by. It would be great if we had such a thing nearer to us.
