The seafood man

"Still have one in Standish, alas he mainly just opens a trailer on fridays mainly now with fresh potted shrimp and other lovely stuff.

Sweet pickled herring rollmops = my idea of heaven. "

OK, not that I don't believe you but I've never seen him in Standish. I would love to sample his wares as the only place you can get a half decent cockle in the Wigan area is in the market next to the door that leads onto Northway.

Yeah in summer he may come past the globe and stop before going and setting his trailer/shop up outside the coop on a friday.

As Standish isn't in the same time zone it doesn't count, by about 137 years at my reckoning

Aswell as the old crabs on yer cock joke, another favourite was "Have you got any Mussels mate"? "Well carry two baskets next time"

How he must of kept himself from a nightly killing spree, i do not know.

''Seafood Y'all''

The cry of the guy in the city centre.....around the Lass, Garratt, City, Vine etc...

Tameside still has it's own seafood man.

He looks the spit of Sam Allardyce, too.

The guy who used to do the pubs of Gorton in the 70`s live 3 doors from me, really nice bloke. I asked why he put up with all the shite jokes off people like me, said he had to get his kids through Uni. so needed the extra money. Four kids through Uni. is some fuckin achievment in Gorton or any inner city area unfortunately.
Well done Dave the seafood man.

Used to see an Uncle Albert lookalike doing this in Fallowfield years ago. Never round Wilmslow Rd but in the Ladybarn Lane pubs like the Derby, Brewers and Talbot.

Not seen anyone selling roses in pubs for a while either. More chance of buying knock off fags or DVDs.

That's it mystery solved since the recession no one is longer interested in seafood favourites. Its pikey fags and snide DVD (the ones where somebody always walks passed the front of the screen carrying a bucket of popcorn) all the way.

The Seafood Man. What a legend. Used to booze a lot in the Vine and he'd always burst in with a plaintive, gruff cry of:


"GAAAAIRFRENNY ZEEVOOD YEE ARR?!"


He had a voice that made Bill Tarmey sound like Kenneth Williams. His voice was a cross between someone using an angle grinder on a tanker and washing machine full of ball bearings on full spin cycle.

Never bought anything from him, but always made my night whenever he would appear.
