At Cottage in the Wood, the sea has always had a direct line to our kitchen. For the past 20 years, Head Chef Mark has relied on one partner above all others: Flying Fish. Based in India Queen, Cornwall, their team of passionate seafood specialists deliver the freshest catch to us each morning at 6am, ensuring the journey from ship to plate is as fast as possible.

Since 2006, Flying Fish Seafoods has been proudly supplying the finest Cornish seafood to chefs across the UK. Today, they continue that tradition with meticulous care, sourcing only the best scallops, monkfish, halibut, and mackerel that forms the backbone of so many of our seasonal dishes.

What sets Flying Fish apart is more than speed and quality. It’s their philosophy: sustainability, respect, and zero waste. Every fish is sourced from reputable suppliers, trusted markets, and ethical fishermen who uphold the highest welfare standards.

In our kitchen, the arrival of Flying Fish deliveries signals the start of the day. Their fish is ready to be celebrated: delicate scallops that shine simply seared, robust halibut with its meaty texture, monkfish that absorbs bold flavours beautifully, and mackerel, perfect for dishes that sing with freshness. With every delivery, we are reminded of the sea’s bounty, and the dedication it takes to bring it responsibly to our plates.

At Cottage in the Wood, every dish that reaches the table tells that story.
