Buying local in Port Isaac

It’s little surprise that a town with two Michelin-starred fish restaurants is one of the best places in Cornwall to get deliciously fresh fish and seafood. There are several fishmongers in this tiny village where you can pick up freshly landed fish, as well as delis in the centre and farm shops in the surrounding area.
