New fishmongers to open on Rochester High Street and locals can't wait to visit
Summary
A new fishmonger, CJ Hook’s, is set to open on Rochester High Street in Kent, sparking considerable enthusiasm among residents. Owner Ryan Caston, a Medway local with 12 years of experience and accolades in the fish trade, aims to provide high-quality, affordable fish in a traditional setting.
