Rockfish is a seafood restaurant group founded in 2007 by Mitch Tonks, operating eight restaurants, two takeaways, a fishmonger and a tinned seafood range, including The Seahorse in Dartmouth. The company’s core product is seafood dining and related retail offerings across the South West region. Rockfish has secured equity financing to support a strategic three‑year growth plan focused on opening four new sites and expanding its retail range. The group raised a £1.25m equity investment from the British Business Bank’s South West Investment Fund (SWIF) via appointed fund manager The FSE Group as part of a £3m funding round. Management cites a robust recovery post‑COVID and emphasizes a commitment to sustainability and quality as drivers of the expansion. The company’s immediate financial position is strengthened by the SWIF equity injection, intended to fund regional growth.
