A fresh wave of excitement is landing at Brierley Hill Market as Matt Witts, a 20-year-old fishmonger from Gloucester, opens his new stall.
Fishmongering runs deep in Matt’s family, with over 70 years in the trade. He learned the ropes working on his dad’s stall and always dreamed of having one of his own.
Matt said: “Growing up, I always enjoyed working with my dad on his fish stall and always wanted a stall of my own to continue that passion.
“Brierley Hill Market is a great market with all the stalls for the weekly shop, so when we knew they were after a new fishmonger, it was as if it was meant to be.”
Matt is already making a splash among marketgoers, and the return of a fishmonger has been warmly welcomed by the local community.
Cllr Adam Davies said: “It’s great to welcome Matt to his new stall at the Market, marking the much-called-for return of a fishmonger to the town.
“It’s brilliant to hear how Matt is following in his dad’s footsteps too, and how he has a passion for making fresh dayboat fish available to local people around Brierley Hill and surrounding areas.”
All fish sold at MW Seafoods is proudly caught in British waters, ensuring the highest quality and freshness. The stall specialises in dayboat fish, meaning it’s caught and landed within a single day for ultimate freshness.
Cllr Wayne Little added: “It’s fantastic to see young entrepreneurs like Matt bringing traditional skills back to our high streets.
"Having a fishmonger at Brierley Hill Market again adds real value for shoppers and supports the market’s role at the heart of the community. We wish Matt every success.”
MW Seafoods is open on regular market days (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays) from 8am to 4pm.
