The Smelly Alley Fish Company | | | These are all cooked prawns except 1, which are uncooked tiger prawns and are ready to cook. They are ideal for cooking with a sauce, because the fact that the shells have been removed means that they absorb flavours easily. Try them pan fried in a mixture of butter and olive oil with lots of garlic! Click on the photo to find them, order "Tiger prawns"
2 are the same prawns as 1, but they are cooked, ready to eat and have a little bit of tail left on, ideal for holding when you dip them in garlic mayonnaise or a sweet chilli sauce! Although they are cooked they can be gently warmed in a microwave. Click on the photo and order "Cooked and peeled king prawns"
3 are sometimes fresh, sometimes frozen. They are the same prawns as 2 but because the shells are left on they are very flavoursome. They are cooked, and ideal for garnishing prawn cocktails, fish stews and fish pies. But if you warm them and serve with brown bread and butter they are a quick, easy and tasty meal. Click on the photo and order "A fresh Mediterranean crevette", if we don't have fresh we will substitute frozen crevettes.
4 are wild Atlantic prawns, a great flavour (generally speaking prawns in the shell have more flavour than shelled prawns). Click on the photo and order "A pint of shell-on prawns" They are the shelled version of 5, which are the prawns that are usually used for prawn cocktails, prawn salads and prawn sandwiches. But great to just eat from a big bowl at a party, they will be the first to go! For 5 order "Peeled prawns" |  |
| The Smelly Alley Fish Company was voted Reading Retailer of the Year a couple of months ago. A great accolade for us! The awards have only been running for two years, the winner last year was Marks and Spencer, this year The Smelly Alley Fish Company! The awards were presented by The Apprentice's Nick Hewer at The Royal Berkshire Conference Centre at the Madejski Stadium. Reading is the only town in Britain, apart from London, that has these awards. Well done, Kevin, Gareth and Ricky!

Why "The Smelly Alley Fish Company"? We're in a street that has had
food shops in it for hundreds of years. In the 1600s it had an open sewer
running down its length, so it became known as Smelly Alley.
Now there is just one fishmonger, one greengrocer and one butcher,
and we are in Reading, Berkshire.
Don't fall for that old chestnut that fish is best from coastal fishmongers.
They don't have the variety of fish that we do, and what do they do when the
fishing boats don't go out or the weather is too bad for fishing?
We are centrally located and can get fish from Newlyn or the Shetlands
12 hours after it has been caught!
