Enjoy the Best of Welsh Seafood
The story of The Rock and Scallop began during the challenging days of lockdown. Faced with the need to adapt and survive, we saw an opportunity in seafood. Our journey started when we were fortunate enough to cater for Scott Cornell, who was seeking quality seafood. From that moment, our reputation grew, and we identified a gap in the market for seafood platters. We began delivering seafood platters around South Wales, and soon after, we expanded to sell fresh seafood, offering produce of unparalleled freshness that hadn’t been seen before in the area. Our commitment to quality and freshness has always been at the heart of what we do.
Post-lockdown, our business thrived as we started trading at Cardiff Riverside Market, Cowbridge Market, and selling fresh fish in Pontyclun. We were proud to bring a taste of abroad to South Wales, offering seafood that was previously only found in seaside destinations. By sourcing from day boats off the Cornish and Welsh coasts, we ensured our customers received the freshest and highest quality seafood as quickly as possible.
The Rock and Scallop is a family affair.
Throughout lockdown, we were blessed with the unwavering support of our family, especially my son Corey, who was by my side every day, helping deliver and sell our products. My passion for fresh seafood runs deep, rooted in my upbringing in a family that owned a fruit and veg business. Fresh fish was always part of my childhood, whether from my father’s shop or our family holidays to the Costa del Sol. These experiences instilled in me a love for seafood—eating it, selling it, and preparing it. It’s this passion that drives us to share the joy of quality seafood with our community.
What sets us apart is our dedication to quality and freshness. We prioritise sourcing Welsh and British produce, supporting local fishermen and minimising our reliance on imports. Our signature seafood platters, along with our popular summer seafood picnic featuring our renowned surf and turf, showcase the best of what we have to offer—a perfect combination of meat and seafood that our customers love.
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to have built a loyal community who appreciate the quality of our produce. Looking to the future, we aim to establish a fixed location near Cardiff city centre, where we can better showcase our offerings and continue to serve our wonderful community.
