F. R. Bradley (Feltham) Ltd was established in 1946 by Frank Bradley (senior) and his wife Anne, selling jellied eels from a barrow in Feltham. 62 years later, our family run business is supplying shellfish, fish and jellied eels all over the south of England from our brand new premises. Today in our factory shop we supply over three hundred different products selling fresh and frozen seafood to the general public, shops and restaurants, all at trade prices.
In the mid-1990's we started to supply Tesco with jellied eels and are now extremely proud to be one of only a handful of fish companies that supply to Asda, Morrisons, Makro, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose.
Today, we are delighted to be able to supply all our frozen products to you via our website or by ringing 020 8890 3169 or 020 8890 4549. Your fish is guaranteed to arrive the next day by special delivery. Also, due to the packaging, your fish will remain frozen.
Where possible we will aim to responsibly source our fish, we always try put whether it is farmed or wild and any more information we can. Some of you want wild, some what ethically farmed so if in doubt please contact us and will will give you all the info we can.
We are constantly extending our range of frozen fish and offering everything from cod, haddock and plaice to mahi mahi, tilapia and soft shell crabs. We offer whole fish such as trevally and mackerel. Fillets such as wild candian salmon, hoki, monkfish and cod. We also offer many different loins and steaks such as tuna, marlin and swordfish. We thought you might like to see where your fish comes from. The photographs were taken to show the factory and manufacturing process, of course, when we are in full production the factory is a hive of activity with twice as many people.
