Best Catch on your Plate
From the harbour at Wells-next-the-Sea, Ashley, Female Fisherman, and her business partner, Nigel, Skipper, set out aboard their small boat Saoirse to bring home the best catch of the North Norfolk coast. Ashley, known to many as The Female Fisherman, made history as the first woman to win 'Fisherman of the Year' in 2022 and is the author of My Fishing Life. Together, she and Nigel work the seasons - landing lobster, crab, whelk, and mackerel - with a hands-on approach that keeps every catch as fresh as the sea itself.
Their ethos is simple: care for the sea, and it will provide in return. They v-notch egg bearing lobsters to protect future stocks and actively support the Wells lobster hatchery, where young lobsters are reared and released back into the wild. Fishing this way means every haul honours both tradition and the future of the fishery.
Dan, Head Chef at The Kings Head, said, ‘It’s a pleasure to cook with Ashley’s catch, the freshest local fish is a great addition to our menu. We have a very special connection with Ashley and her Saoirse boat and so wonderful that she fishes out of Wells-next-the-Sea harbour, how local can you get!' Said Ashley, 'we believe seafood tastes best when it carries a story and we are proud to deliver some of our catch to The King’s Head, Letheringett'.
