Welcome to the River Cottage Online Shop

At River Cottage we’re fanatical about fish. We love to catch them, and we love to eat what we catch.

This DVD, which I’ve put together with my fishing buddy and boat partner Nick Fisher (of Screaming Reels fame), is a complete guide to the sea fish that we catch and cook throughout the year here off the stunning Jurassic Coast.

Join us as we head off on the high seas in search of the season’s best fish, from the first mackerel of spring through the black bream and bass of summer and autumn to the early winter squid.

Check out our ‘Fish Skills’ section, where you’ll learn everything you need to know about preparing your freshly caught fish from scratch. And then it’s back to River Cottage HQ for tips on home-smoking your catch, and a feast of favourite fishy recipes, from mackerel sashimi to sea bass baked in a salt crust.

So climb aboard for 70 minutes of brand new fishy footage, packed full of top tips on how to get the most out of your fishing and your fish.

Then sit back and enjoy our special feature, For the Love of Fish - half an hour of the very best fishy fun and frolics from past River Cottage series. Join me as I recall some of my favourite adventures, catching, cooking and eating some of the quirkier and tastier characters among Britains fabulous fish and shellfish.

Our New Mushroom Magic DVD is now available. Hugh says, "Nothing gets us more excited at River Cottage HQ than wild mushrooms. But these glorious fruits of the field and wood are available to everyone so why not get out there and bag some for yourself?
This DVD, put together by River Cottage mushroom guru John Wright and myself, is a fantastic introduction to the delights of mushroom foraging.

In John's safe hands we take a tour through the tastiest wild mushrooms our countryside has to offer, from the humble Common Puffball to the majestic Cep.

John gives us his top tips on where and when to go, what to pick and what to avoid. Then it's back to the kitchen where Gill and I get to work turning our haul into a whole array of fantastic dishes.

Whether you're a seasoned mycophile or total novice, this DVD will open your eyes to the wealth of mushrooms just waiting to be picked. It will whet your appetite for the vast array of fungal flavours out there and inspire you to add a truly wild edge to your cooking!"

Hugh has expanded his holding to 44 acres, and with more land and livestock he is producing even more food. He grasps the opportunity to set up a culinary HQ - in a ramshackle cluster of old farm buildings where he can prepare his products for market and host seasonal dinners for paying customers.

For Hugh and his family and friends its a whole new challenge in rural living, as they reap the harvest of the Dorset countryside, and enjoy the very best in seasonal, local, home-cooked fare.

The rolling hills and rugged countryside of Dorset provide the perfect backdrop for Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's experiment in leaving the rat race behind to live off the fat of the land. And tucked away at the bottom of one of the county's valleys is the ideal home: River Cottage.

In his first year Hugh had just the cottage and the garden but he soon found he needed more land so, in his second year, he did a deal with a neighbour to rent four acres. His smallholding now boasts a poly-tunnel for growing vegetables, fox-proof high rise chicken accommodation and pasture for his sheep, cows and pigs.

It is now the start of the third year and, as well as being a time for looking back with joy and satisfaction at the events of the last two years, it is a time to ask the really big question: Should Hugh stay at River Cottage forever?

The second series of this wonderful documentary with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

A year after leaving the smoke of the city behind him to live off the fat of the land in the country at River Cottage, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has sampled the good life and found it to taste pretty sweet. Now he wants more...

Hugh plans to turn his smallholding into a real home-farm and edge a little closer to the holy grail of self-sufficiency.

He negotiates with his neighbour to secure the use of a four and a half acre field, just enough to support a cow called Marge and her calf, a steer for beef and some Dorset Down sheep. The cattle are joined by chickens, which Hugh introduces to high-rise living and three pigs which he christens Ginger, Baby and Fat!

There is also time for Hugh to explore some of the local traditions including taking part in the annual nettle eating competition and diving for scallops.

Ex-London chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall takes over a Dorset cottage and sets out to achieve a form of rural self-sufficiency.

Along the way he encounters a whole series of challenges largely caused by the weather, pests and his own questionable competence.

Marge the cow, Joanna the sheep and the local vegetable guru Michael Michaud (with whom Hugh has a 'who can grow the hottest chilli' competition) all make regular appearances as the series develops into a fascinating insight into country life.
