Seems some supermarkets arent selling fresh fish? Is there any reason for it? I can eat frozen if needbe, but does seem a bit strange.

I wouldn't eat fish these days anyway OP. It's full of microplastics and heavy metals.

Yes Morrisons fish counter had lots. It was however already packed and priced. Maybe the staff are deployed elsewhere in store?,

I am lucky enough to have a fishmonger at each end of the street and both are currently closed (one said will be for 2 weeks, they closed the Saturday just before lockdown). Supermarkets still seem to have fish though?

Might not be all then. But one I went to earlier and another friend of mine had been to supermarket and weren't selling fresh fish. Not just at fish counter, I mean even packaged up ready, were only selling frozen.

My fishmonger has closed too one thing I'm really missing. Frozen just isn't the same :(

Our fishmonger is still open although he did say supplies were getting scarcer as fewer boats are going out.
We also have a fish van which comes once a week.

Our Tesco shut down the fresh fish counter several weeks ago.

Managed to get some packed up fresh fish when I went there on Thursday but very limited choice.

Tons in our Waitrose. It's clearly not selling fast, and as a result not looking too good - dull and slimy. I'd avoid. Goodness knows where the wasted fish will all go, but this was a full fresh fish counter at 5pm today.
