Wholesale Seafood Supplier Elgin — Fresh Fish
Clark Seafoods supplies fresh haddock, cod, salmon, shellfish and smoked fish to restaurants, hotels, chip shops and fishmongers in Elgin and across the Moray region. Based in Buckie — we offer the shortest supply chain available to Elgin food businesses.
Elgin's Closest Wholesale Seafood Supplier
If you run a food business in Elgin and you're buying your fish from a supplier based in central Scotland or further afield, your seafood is travelling further than it needs to. Clark Seafoods is based in Buckie — 18 miles from Elgin on the A96. The fish we land there and buy from Peterhead fish market can be in an Elgin kitchen the same morning it leaves our depot.
That's not a marketing claim. It's geography. No wholesale seafood supplier in Scotland can offer Elgin food businesses a shorter supply chain than Clark Seafoods.
We supply restaurants, hotels, fish and chip shops, fishmongers and care homes across Elgin and the surrounding Moray area — including Lossiemouth, Forres, Fochabers, Rothes and beyond. With over 50 years of trading history in the Scottish seafood industry, we're not a new face in the area. We're the local supplier Elgin businesses have been buying from for generations.
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.
What We Supply to Elgin Food Businesses
We supply the full range of Scottish fish and shellfish that Elgin's restaurants, hotels, chip shops and fishmongers need — from the everyday staples that keep a fryer running to the premium shellfish and whole fish that go on a hotel or restaurant menu.
Fresh White Fish Haddock, cod, whiting, pollock, coley, hake, lemon sole, plaice and monkfish — bought daily from Peterhead fish market and landed from our own Buckie vessels. Graded fillets in fixed weight and variable weight boxes for chip shops, skinless and boneless options for care homes, and whole fish for fishmongers and restaurant kitchens.
Fresh Shellfish Langoustines, scallops, dressed crab, lobster, mussels and prawns — sourced from Scottish West Coast waters and supplied to Elgin restaurants and hotels looking to put genuinely local shellfish on their menus.
Fresh Salmon and Sea Trout Scottish farmed salmon supplied pin-boned and de-scaled as standard. Sea trout available seasonally. Popular with Elgin hotels, restaurants and fishmongers.
Smoked Fish Traditional smoked haddock — dyed and natural — alongside kippers, Arbroath Smokies, smoked mackerel and smoked salmon. Sourced from trusted Scottish smokeries.
Whole Fish For fishmongers and restaurant chefs who prefer to portion in-house. Gutted and scaled to your specification, ready for the counter or kitchen.
Why Elgin Food Businesses Switch to Clark Seafoods
Elgin is the largest town in Moray — a thriving food and hospitality market with chip shops, independent restaurants, hotels and care homes all buying seafood regularly. Most of them are buying from suppliers who are further away than they need to be.
The reason is simple — Clark Seafoods hasn't always been as visible as the national distributors who spend money on sales teams. But the supply chain advantage has always been there. Eighteen miles from Elgin. Daily buying from Peterhead. Our own vessels landing at Buckie. Fish from the Moray Firth on an Elgin plate the same day it landed.
If you're currently buying from a national distributor and not getting the freshness, the service, or the pricing you want, we'd like to talk. We're not going to make promises we can't keep — but we will tell you honestly what we can deliver, when we can deliver it, and what it will cost.

FAQs
Do you supply hotels and restaurants in Elgin?
What's the freshness advantage of buying from a Buckie-based supplier?
Fish bought at Peterhead market in the morning can be in an Elgin kitchen the same day — with minimal handling in between. A national distributor buying from the same Peterhead market but routing through a central Scotland depot adds hours of transit and at least two extra handling stages. For fresh fish that difference is noticeable.
