The brown shrimp at Donaldsons in King's Lynn are caught in The Wash and peeled in the shop. It's a wet fishmonger on Austin Fields, selling fresh fish, shellfish and game. The Wash brown shrimp fishery works out of King's Lynn and is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. Lynn Shellfish, in the town, processes the shrimp along with cockles and whelks from local boats. Brown shrimp are fiddly little things to peel. Here somebody does it for you. The doors open at seven, Tuesday to Saturday, which tells you whose hours a fishmonger keeps. Get there early on a Saturday; it shuts at two. If you've only ever eaten prawns from a supermarket tray, start with these.

What do you sell?
