Chapman’s Joins Ocean Fish

Strengthening the British Seafood Supply Chain: Ocean Fish and Chapman’s Join Forces

We are proud to announce a significant development for the UK seafood industry. Chapman’s of Sevenoaks, one of the South’s leading premium seafood suppliers, has officially joined the Ocean Fish Group in a strategic joint venture.

Ultimately, this partnership strengthens the British seafood supply chain, further enhancing delivery of high-quality, responsibly sourced fish with scale and precision.

A Shared Vision for British Seafood

Chapman’s is a trusted hospitality supplier, serving top restaurants, hotels and events like Formula 1 and Chelsea Flower Show. Their expertise in supplying fresh British fish to London complements Ocean Fish’s end-to-end model, from vessels to global sourcing.

Together, we are creating one of the most capable and customer-focused British seafood suppliers in the country.

Responsible Sourcing, End to End

This joint venture is built on a shared commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. With day boats from Rye to Newlyn, we offer 50+ UK fish species, responsibly sourced, low-carbon, reliable, and chef-focused.

Chapman’s refrigerated facility near London enables low food miles, efficient delivery and a faster, responsive UK seafood supply chain.

Expanding Our Reach in Premium Hospitality

With increased capacity, financial backing, and group-wide support, this partnership allows Chapman’s to expand in the hospitality sector. Meanwhile, Ocean Fish brings the scale and sourcing strength of a nationwide operation, ensuring reliable supply and greater reach. At the same time, Chapman’s continues to deliver premium service, expert fish preparation, and the attention to detail that defines its success.

For chefs and buyers, this creates a compelling offer: UK premium seafood responsibly sourced, expertly prepared, and above all, delivered with care.

Investing in Skills, Quality and Communities

At the heart of this venture is our investment in people. From expert filleters to operational teams, we remain committed to preserving and building vital skills across coastal communities. Above all, we believe in being large enough to deliver, yet small enough to care and that ethos continues to guide us as we grow together.

This is more than a partnership; it is a bold step forward for the future of British seafood.
