There is no greater compliment than a customer recommending us to a friend or family member. Or a new customer calling up after having a wonderful meal at a friend’s house and wanting to have our fresh fish delivered to their home too.

Whether you are new to Regal or have been with us for years, if you recommend us to a friend or family member, you will both share £35 of vouchers for Regal over three deliveries to spend on any of our products.

Bought my first pack of fish today and we had some for tea – so nice, fresh and light – would recommend to all. Mrs Frost, May 2016.

How do I recommend a friend?

Recommending a friend is straightforward. The reward applies to existing customers. If you call us on 01652 662100 or fill in the online form, we can then check whether the customer you are recommending is on one of our delivery rounds. We’ll get in contact and let them know when we’re next in the area and supply them with an information pack about our service. Continue reading →

Our locally sourced Yorkshire crabs and lobsters are wild caught from the Holderness Coast – a small stretch of coastline in East Yorkshire between the iconic nature reserve of Spurn Point and historic harbour of Bridlington.

The shallow, warmer inshore waters encourage Holderness crabs to feed on the mineral rich silt and mud, which produces a much tastier meat. Continue reading →

Salmon Prices are at an all-time high, several factors have influenced the price and we have seen a continual rise since the beginning of this year with costs currently sitting at 60% more than 2015.

With Salmon in short supply this has a global knock-on effect as supermarkets scramble to secure orders from other countries and prices increase across the board.

Because of events related to the higher than usual ocean temperatures, and an algal toxic bloom, Chilean salmon prices are up by over 60% compared to 2015 and extreme weather in Norway has meant that production in 2016 is down from 2015 and prices are up 63% on last year also. Continue reading →

There is a common belief that prawns should be avoided for people trying to lower cholesterol. This is a myth. Whilst foods like eggs and prawns are higher in dietary cholesterol than other foods, this type of cholesterol has almost no impact on cholesterol levels in the body. The NHS website advises that to reduce cholesterol and the risk of heart disease, we should aim to lower saturated fat in our diet. And prawns contain almost no saturated fat. Whilst being a low fat protein choice, the fats found in prawns are good fats. Prawns are heart healthy.

• WHFoods.com rated prawns as the 8th best protein source out of the hundreds of foods they have analysed.
• Prawns contain a large amount of selenium. Other sources are brazil nuts and sunflower seeds. But prawns are much lower in fat and calories. This essential trace mineral is important for good brain function, a healthy immune system and fertility for men and women. Research shows that the selenium in prawns is very well absorbed into our bodies compared to other sources.
• A B12 deficiency can cause sufferers to feel lethargic, depressed and faint. The vitamin B12 in prawns will help keep your nerves and blood cells working well.
• Prawns are also an excellent source of phosphorus. Phosphorus is part of every human cell in the body and is vital for bone strength and maintaining energy supplies.
• Vitamin D is only found in a small number of foods. And prawns are on of them. Vitamin D is important for a number of reasons; particularly, it helps keeps bones and teeth healthy.

Other vitamins and minerals prawns contain include: choline, copper, iodine, vitamin B3, zinc, vitamin E, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid and vitamin A.

You gotta have a dream. If you don’t have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true? Oscar Hammerstein II

In February we mentioned that one of our staff members Karl Morgan was entering a local body-building competition in his hometown of Hull after only starting to work out two years ago.

Fast forward four months and Karl is on his way to Mr Universe. Along the way, Karl has won trophies at local, regional and national level and attracted media attention for his success. In a short space of time, Karl has gone from a self-taught amateur who fancied a challenge to a winner.

Mr Universe is the largest international competition of its kind. Famous entrants and winners include John Grimek, Steve Reeves, Bill Pearl, Lou Ferrigno, Serge Nubret…and, of course, the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose career catapulted into the A list after winning once as an unknown amateur and then four times as a professional.

Swordfish is prized for its dense and meaty texture, richness and mild, sweet taste. Ideal for summer barbecuing, grilling and pan-frying. Swordfish can be paired with a host of your favourite ingredients.

Swordfish is an oily fish and counts towards your weekly recommended portion of omega 3 packed fish. It also contains a good amount of the hard to find Vitamin D (a vitamin many British people are deficient in because of our lack of sunshine, unfortunately) and Vitamin E for healthy skin. The potassium in swordfish improves nerve and muscle function. More than that, a portion of swordfish contains your daily recommended intake of selenium. Selenium is hard to find in foods other than calorific brazil nuts and helps mop up cell damaging free radicals and improve thyroid function. Continue reading →
