It cuts out the middle man, the fish merchant, so we get good deals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If there is a large supply, the cost is lower and we pass that onto our customers whenever we can.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We have a lot of elderly people and families and it saves them a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;A family of four can have dinner for less than a fiver.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The quality of the food is always the same.
