The royal couple were shown more than 40 varieties of fish caught off the Sussex coast by a local fleet during their tour of the West Quay Fisheries, which has been open for almost 40 years.
Crab, lobsters, monk fish, conger eel and squid were all displayed on ice for the Queen and Philip to inspect at the family-run fish company in Newhaven, East Sussex.
The firm, based on the quayside of the River Ouse, sells fish to shops, restaurants as well as at an on-site shop direct to the public.
Shop manager Kerry Bickerstaff, 37, who has worked at the firm for 20 years, said: "It's an honour. We had the Duke of Kent about 10 years ago but I have never met the Queen before. It's great news for the community to have her here."
