Poor selection of top of the range fish, such as Halibut, Turbot etc. Shell fish is ordinary with lots of prefrozen fish....hardly ever do they stock Langoustines.
Plenty of fish to suit West Indian tastes but all frozen!
I get fresher fish and a far greater selection from my local Asda supermarket.
Asda prices are generally less than the market. Perhaps this is due to the inflated rental charges that the market traders have to pay Birmingham Council!
Meat is a different story. Plenty of good quality meat with a great selection of cuts. Good quality Mutton is available along with Goat. Prices are very reasonable and compare favourably with Supermarkets and local butchers.
The market is an interesting place but falls short because of its fish section.
Impossible to give price ranges because fish and meat prices will vary, dependant on supply and demand. One price that seems to be stable is shoulder of mutton at £1.99 lb.
Market is open every day except Sunday. Opening times are approx 9.00 am until late afternoon but Saturdays they seem to close earlier.
