An award-winning fishmonger is bringing a taste of the Yorkshire coast to Ryedale when he opens a shop in Helmsley shop this month � and it could mean the creation of several jobs.
Located adjacent to the Perns� shop it will be named The Star Fish by Thundercliffe�s of Scarborough.

The business is an expansion for fishmonger Peter Thundercliffe who opened a shop in Scarborough five years ago, has a mobile fish round in Ryedale and who attends Hovingham village market on the first Saturday of each month.

He has had a long career in the fish industry and has been a fish craft award winner at the British Fishcraft Awards run by The National Federation of Fishmongers.

The Star Fish by Thundercliffe�s will sell fresh fish and shellfish such as cod, haddock, plaice, Dover sole, crab and lobster landed into Scarborough, Bridlington, Filey and Whitby, and in-season fish including wild sea bass, wild salmon and sea trout, plus squid, red mullet and sea bream which are now being caught along the Yorkshire coast

Mr Thundercliffe said: �We already supply The Star Inn with fish and shellfish and I am grateful to Andrew and Jacquie Pern for the opportunity to supply to the people and visitors of Helmsley.�

The shop will be open Tuesday to Saturday, and Mr Thundercliffe hopes to be able to create a number of new jobs as the business builds up.
