Nottinghamshire residents are being warned about door-to-door fish salesmen.
The salesmen are known to charge excessive amounts for fish that is largely unlabelled and some of which is unfit to eat.
The fish scam is a growing national problem. We advise that the best place to buy fish is from a reputable fishmonger at an established shop or stall.
Doorstep sellers also tend not to offer customers cancellation rights or a receipt to allow them to seek a refund if they are not satisfied with the goods.
Anyone who has been approached by fish sellers in this manner should contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 03454 04 05 06.
