Since 1992 we have been providing award winning fresh, local fish to residents and catering outlets in Exeter and throughout the surrounding areas. We personally buy all our own sea fish, predominantly from the smaller day boats landing at Brixham Fish Market. Not only does this ensure the quality and freshness of the fish we buy, it also keeps the food miles of our produce to a minimum. We support sustainable fishing, and wherever possible we have a policy of buying line-caught fish.

Awarded ‘Devon’s Best Fishmonger of the Year’ in 2007 and 2009 and runners up for the same award every year since 2008, we are also listed in the Guardian’s Ultimate Guide to Britain’s Finest Independent Shops and Suppliers, so you can have complete confidence in the freshness and quality of our seafood.

If you’re unable to get down to our shop, we offer a free home delivery service, give us a call or place your order, it’s as easy as that. Your fish will come delivered to your door, vacuum-packed, so it’s totally leakage and odour free, ready to go straight into your fridge (for up to 3 days) or freezer for easy storage.

Get in touch or visit our shop, Gibson’s Plaice on Magdalen Road, to enquire about our daily catch or to place an order.

A went there today to buy some fresh prawns and hopefully crab meat but as I walked in there was not even hi or hello ... guy working there just looked at me like he was surprised to see a customer. There was a lady at the front of me in the queue with a big order and fishmonger had a pile of fish he was filleting for her, after watching him for 10 minutes I realized its gonna be a good 30 - 45 min before its my turn so I gave up and left. Shame he didn't even bother to say "sorry guys its gonna be a while " or perhaps "please come back later ". He was the only person working there. I'm not gonna bother again.

Not much I’d go to war over, but I would consider it for this fish shop. Expert staff. You will never eat supermarket fish again.

Absolutely spot on, but maybe not many know it's Gibsons who have the stall in the Farmer's Market every Thurs in Exeter city centre too, with sometimes long queues . . that says it all, speaks of nothing but quality and popularity then. Delicious fish, and really glad I order in either from their stall the week before or phone their shop then pick it up at the farmers' market so you're guaranteed to get what you want before someone else gets it! I'm yet to visit their fish HQ or Fish Heaven in Magdalen Road in Exeter to see what it's like, but if their shop was to be renamed, that's what I would call it . . Fish Heaven or Haven. Thank you Gibson's, for your beautiful fish and shellfish, will put my order in. Chris Gillies, Ms.
