• Experience leading or supervising a small team

• A genuine passion for quality food and excellent customer service

• One-to-one training in professional fish preparation from our head filleter

• A friendly, close-knit team in a well-established independent business

This is a role where your work genuinely matters — and where you’ll have the opportunity to develop skills that are increasingly rare in the food industry.
