In no particular order!

1. Island Seafare - fantastic range of fresh local fish and locally smoked salmon. Must have buys are the hot smoked salmon and Manx Queenies, all fantastic. The staff are really freindly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

2. Farmers Market - every Saturday at the Villa Marina - great local fresh vegetables all without stupid plastic packaging!

3. Deli 35 - if your looking for that something different, Deli 35 has it.

4. Anagh Coar Butchers - all locally sourced products with the exeption of Crocodile, Ostrich and Kangaroo. Oh and not forgetting the Reindeer burgers that I picked up for my bbq on Boxing Day . Must buys are the pork sausages and Manx Mutton, haven’t had a chance to try the homemade pies, but they look great!

5. Davisons chocolate shop on regent street - if you like chocolate you will love this shop. Friendly staff and all great presentation.

And no I didn’t bother with Woolworths!
