Disgusting moment fishmonger repeatedly throws frozen seafood
down on to the pavement outside East London shop
as council launch food hygiene investigation
A shocked observer filmed the staff member throwing the seafood on to the dirty pavement outside
the back entrance to Moon Fish - located at Barking Market on East Street.
The video of the fishmonger - who appears to be trying to break up blocks of frozen fish -
went viral as social media users reacted in disgust.
Barking and Dagenham council said it was investigating the matter and its hygiene team would visit Moon Fish today.
'Our Food Hygiene Team are currently investigating the matter urgently and have been in contact with the business.'
After the video was posted on YouTube, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) social media users reacted in horror.
One user commented: 'Why not just run it under a tap and soak it? Vile. It makes you not want to buy anything.'
Another asked: 'Did he think no one was going to see him dashing fish on the curb [sic]?'
Meanwhile, some social media users joked about the video, with one saying:
'Doesn't look like a place you should be buying fish from.'
Others commented on the video with puns, with one saying,
'This is barking mad', while another quipped: 'When I said I want it battered I didn't mean like that.'
Moon Fish could not be reached for comment.
