Missions: Fishmonger

This profession is crucial in the temping business to meet one-off needs, such as holiday periods, peaks in activity or to replace a temporarily absent employee, thus guaranteeing continuity in the quality of service.
The Fishmonger starts his day very early by receiving deliveries of fish, shellfish and seafood. He checks the quality and freshness of the products before preparing them for sale, by scaling, gutting, cutting or filleting them according to customers' requests. The Fishmonger then arranges the products on the stall, respecting the rules of hygiene and presentation to show them to their best advantage. He advises customers on product selection, cooking methods and recipes, sharing his expertise on seafood products. In addition to sales, he is responsible for stock management, monitoring available quantities and placing orders to avoid shortages. The Fishmonger must also ensure the cleanliness of his work area, regularly cleaning surfaces and tools. They ensure that conservation standards are respected, keeping products at the right temperatures to guarantee freshness. Finally, he or she may be involved in administrative tasks, such as managing orders and tracking sales.

Skills and training

The Fishmonger position generally requires a CAP Fishmonger-Scaler or a Bac Pro Fishmonger-Scaler-Caterer. Additional training in food hygiene and safety is often an asset. Practical experience in a fish shop is also appreciated to master preparation techniques.

Fishmonger: What Career Developments?
