Ewing's BelfastFishmongers

Ewing's Belfast Fishmongers trades from 6 Kendal Street in the Shankill area, established in 1911 by William Ewing and still run by his descendants, now under Walter Ewing. The shop sells fresh fish and shellfish landed around the Irish coast and cures its own smoked salmon on site, supplying restaurants and hotels across Northern Ireland alongside walk-in customers. It is commonly cited as the oldest fishmonger in Ireland, having operated from the same district for over a century. A portrait of Walter Ewing by Belfast-born artist Oliver Jeffers appears in the shop's branding and packaging. Ewing's holds a food hygiene rating from Belfast City Council and opens Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, closed Sunday and Monday. Trade is split between counter sales to local households and wholesale supply to chefs, with smoked salmon available by mail order. The shop remains a working fish counter rather than a seafood restaurant or bar.
