W Hodgson Fish Merchants.
W.Hodgson was established in the fishing port of Hartlepool in 1916 when it was mainly whiting, haddock, cod and plaice which dominated the slabs.
But times have changed and we've changed with them. Now Tuna, Swordfish, Black Tilapia, Bream and Sea Bass take their place on the display slabs and in our delivery vans.
