Fish Shop Recommendations Please!

[@ombomb]

I've just moved to Tunbridge Wells and am looking for a couple of decent local fish shops. Can anyone recommend any local ones (or not too far a drive) that are worth having a look at?

Thanks in advance.

I live about an hour and a half further SE of you and my LFS would probably be a 2 hours drive from where you are (and to be honest are not worth driving that far ).

There are a couple of Maidenhead Aquatic stores near you. There is one in East Grinstead which is apprently very big (haven't been there myself) and there is one at Polhill which is very good but I dont think they have a marine section.

Please post if you find any good shops. Near me I have a Maidenhead Aquatic which is my favorite shop but does have a limited selection (and no marine) and two shops in Canterbury which have Marine sections but still not a massive selection.

the best marine shops near you are in either Aylesford or Ash, or further afield in East Grinstead
a fair way from The Wells

another good one but no marines
http/www.jackswood-aquatics.co.uk/ (really easy from The Wells just follow A21 to M25 and turn off before M25)

whatever you do don't go into the petshop in tunbridge wells town or the one in southborough both are horrid
nor the one on the a21 towards hastings (forget the name) that sucks too.

Can't help with Kent (not living there anymore).
Try contacting the Sea Life Centre in Hastings, they may be able to help
There is meant to be a good shop in the Sevenoaks Area
(advertises in Marine world magazine)
Hope that helps.
Another one in Tenterden, but more of a garden centre with fish (from memory).
If you fancied a trip up to Cambridgeshire/Norfolk there are some great shops around there,
and Next time you are in Liverpool/Cheshire let us know and we'll show you around a few !!!!!!!

I think STM are in sevenoaks ?

Well worth a visit.

 

[alessasavoca]

the one in Tenterden is pretty big now, Swallow aquatics it's called. Definitely worth a visit, fish are pretty decent (At least they were when we last went in there!) It's on Appledore road if I remember rightly.
