Fresh Oily Fish
Our oily fish range is sourced from Scottish and North Atlantic waters — mackerel, herring, sprats and squid caught seasonally from some of the most productive fishing grounds in the world.
Scottish oily fish is at its best when it's fresh and in season. Mackerel fat with summer feeding, herring at their peak before spawning, sprats running through autumn — buying in season from a supplier who sources daily from Peterhead and our own Buckie landings means you're getting oily fish in genuine peak condition, not held in depot storage.
The fish we supply is processed by MSC-certified suppliers — meaning the seafood that reaches your kitchen carries full traceability and meets the Marine Stewardship Council's standards for responsible sourcing.
Why Businesses Choose Clark Seafoods
Scottish oily fish is highly seasonal — mackerel is at its best through summer and autumn, herring has its peak runs, sprats come through in autumn. A supplier who buys from Peterhead market daily and sources from Shetland landings knows what's running well that week and what isn't. We don't sell oily fish that's past its best because we know the difference — and after 50 years in the Scottish seafood trade, so do our customers.
We deliver oily fish to restaurants, hotels, fishmongers and caterers across the Highlands, Moray Coast, North Scotland and the West Coast on established routes, alongside your regular white fish and shellfish order. No separate delivery, no minimum order just for oily fish.
