Piraeus fishmonger since 2018. Three boats, one chiller, and the names written on the wall every morning.
“Three Saturdays in a row I've ordered from OceanCatch and three Saturdays in a row the lavraki has been on my doorstep before 18:30, vacuum-sealed and cold. Yiannis even called once to say the order I'd placed had a smaller fish than the listed weight and discounted it before I noticed. This is how a shop should work.”
“We host every Sunday and the table is built around what's on Yiannis's slate that morning. Eleni takes my call at 9, the courier is at the gate by 17, and the fish is dressed exactly as I asked — gutted, scaled, no head. The garides Symi I ordered for Easter were the best I've eaten outside of Symi itself.”
“We discovered OceanCatch through Lifo's article. The octopus is tenderised at the shop and arrives ready for the grill — a game-changer for someone who doesn't enjoy beating an octopus on rocks. The ready-to-cook plaki kit (fish, vegetables, herbs, paper) is the best €24 I spend on a Friday.”
“Walking distance from the shop, but I order online when I'm working from home — pick-up window is honoured to the minute and Mimis at the counter knows my dog by name. They sell octopus and lavraki at honest prices, they sell sinagrida when the boat actually has it, and they tell you 'no' when the catch isn't there. That's worth gold.”
