Latimers Seafood Ltd

It all started with the hope that selling lobster and crab was easier than catching it!

Back in 2002 Robert Latimer hauled his crab, lobster, and langoustine creels up for the last time on the beautiful and secluded shores on the Isle of Luing, west coast Scotland. He journeyed back home to Whitburn, Tyne and Wear and started selling shellfish out of the back of the family garage and petrol station.

To this day he still uses his passion for all things fishy to make sure that only the finest local fish and seafood is landed into our fishmongers’ counter and onto the plates in our seaside cafe.

We want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to access amazing, fresh, local, sustainable fish and shellfish – after all it’s good for you and helps us support our local fishermen and boats too.

As an independent seafood retailer, we have more than 25 committed and highly trained staff; apprentices, chefs, bookkeepers, admin, filleters, café and shop crew to name a few

Our locally caught fresh fish and seafood can be traced from trawler to plate.

Back in 2008 we thought we’re really good at selling and eating this beautiful seafood, how hard can it be to open a café using it too…

The answer was a lot harder than you would think! But years later (after lots of tasting – the wine tasting night was especially difficult…) we’ve got an amazing team in our café who look after all our visitors with a dash of good old-fashioned hospitality – and we’ve got a scrumptious menu too – which obviously specialises in seafood but has lots to offer for the non-fish fan as well!

The café windows and deck have gorgeous views over the beach and customers can while away the time watching the fishing boats that could be bringing in our next haul.
