Where can I buy some fish in Cumbria instead of the pets at home?

Any idea where can I buy some nice fish? I prefer to buy from someone not from the shops.

Where is Cumbria? You are on an international forum.

One of the prettiest county’s the UK has to offer

As for shops I don’t know many that north. You do have the option of online delivery or a drive south towards Lancashire. There are some great shops that way. I can link some options if you want.

I really can’t think of anyplace I want to travel to as an exotic destination but if it ever happened that I could I would go to Jolly Olde England in a heartbeat . I watch a lot of English TV shows and England is cool . You UK members could occasionally post pictures of where you live .

Don't live anywhere near these places, but have visited them on my travels in the North west/east. Just a few photos

If you know of a young lad with a lightning-bolt scar, he walked the corridors of pic 1 in his first year at school :wizard2:

Also @Tomtom8, look for any Maidenhead Aquatic stores. I know of 2 in Carlisle. They will have much better quality fish and fish-related products than a pets at home would.
