Samways Fish Merchants

Samways Fish Merchants is, and has always been, a family run business, established in January 1961 by Mr. Clifford Samways from a small wooden barrow, selling his catch on the harbour side of West Bay, Dorset. Over Fifty years on from those humble beginnings, Samways Fish Merchants has grown into a thriving local business with a purpose built factory, a great product range and a good team, providing an extremely efficient service, led by Clive Samways, Managing Director since 1985. It was Clive who headed a huge push into the European market, which now boasts a very strong export team, and it was from this that Samways broadened its business to become International Transporters, with our own refrigerated fleet of trucks and drivers. Clives Wife, Sarah, joined him in 1993,opening their first retail shop in West Bay, she then went on to drive forward the foodservice side of the business, which now has over five hundred clients who are able to receive fresh fish 6 days of the week...
