out of the blue

Welcome to out of the blue !


Out of the Blue is Chorlton’s fishmonger - the only dedicated provider of fresh fish and seafood in this popular suburb of Manchester. It holds the award for Best Food and Drink Outlet from The Co-operative Manchester Food and Drink Festival. Whilst awards are great accolades, more important to owner, Dave Yarwood is just how much the customer base is growing and how they are voting with their feet. Out of the Blue has been established at these premises on Wilbraham Road, Chorlton since 2003. Dave Yarwood initially began trading in central Manchester - from the Arndale Market - until he purchased Inshore Fisheries. Unlike most supermarkets, the fish from Out of the Blue is handpicked and purchased on a daily basis from selected vendors. The shop has deliveries daily and often 2 or 3 times a day. The shop has benefited from a recent refit, creating clean and simple lines that our customers really like. We stock ‘everyday fish’, such as cod, plaice & salmon, as well as specialities such as wild turbot and native lobsters, and everything is reasonably priced and great value for money.
