AGR-391 · Auction · Newlyn, United Kingdom · GBP

Newlyn Fish Market is a first-sale seafood marketplace in the Cornish port of Newlyn. It connects fish suppliers with wholesalers and processors, bringing deliveries, selling activity and collection into a single trading location. The harbour identifies W. Stevenson & Sons as the exclusive auctioneer. Directory users should distinguish the auction hall from the same company's retail business: the price of fish in a consumer online shop is not the auction result for a wholesale lot. This distinction matters when estimating procurement costs or comparing Newlyn with other landing markets.

Harbour commissioners reported almost 3.9 million kg of fish, valued at GBP 19.1 million, during the first concession year beginning on 1 April 2024. These figures describe that specific operating period, rather than calendar year 2025 or all activity across the port. Products include monkfish, megrim, Dover sole, cuttlefish, squid and hake. The reported scale indicates the market's relevance to professional sourcing, but it does not guarantee that a particular species or size will be available on the day of an enquiry.

Under the arrangement introduced in April 2024, the operator manages the inside of the market building, while the harbour commissioners remain responsible for outside areas. This division is useful when arranging unloading, vehicle access and collection. Prospective buyers should contact the market manager before visiting to establish the route into purchasing and the collection timetable. Suppliers should agree delivery and acceptance arrangements before dispatching a vehicle or bringing a vessel's catch to the market. Any access or handling quotation should identify which organisation provides the service.

A useful purchasing enquiry specifies species, size range, quantity and product presentation: whole fish, gutted fish or material intended for processing. As editorial guidance, we recommend confirming net weight, weighing arrangements, packaging and the available origin documentation. Record the fish price separately from packaging, handling and freight so that competing quotations can be compared on the same basis. For fresh products, agree the collection sequence and temperature arrangements through to the destination. Ask what happens if the landed volume differs from the quantity initially expected.

Stevenson provides a wholesale and export enquiry route, but that does not establish an unconditional right to purchase without agreed terms. A buyer can request a quotation for a precisely described lot; a supplier can ask about settlement, deductions and treatment of unsold fish. The telephone contacts in the metadata are the market contacts published by the harbour. Retail shop prices should remain separate from any future auction-price data added to this record.
