What do you imagine does surround London? Empty moors and badlands? Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billingsgate_Fish_Market
> What do you imagine does surround London?
Suburbia? Is there anything else for a radius of 50-60 km?

You can also hit the sea in that distance from London.
Yes
>Or frozen fish brought in from half a continent away?
You can get that too.
The negative response you are getting from users is because you are completely wrong about inability to get high quality, same day picked/slaughtered/fished food in London.
edit: in regard to frozen fish, I trust that the Japanese (who regularly freeze the absolutely highest grade Tuna during transit) know what they are doing.
> Is it fish caught in that same day like you can get in any Greek taverna in the Cyclades?
The UK has some of the richest fishing waters in the world. We have so much that we export worldwide. Of course it's available in London.
> Suburbia? Is there anything else for a radius of 50-60 km?
How big do you think the suburbs of London are? It's not LA. Draw a 60 km radius circle around London and take a look at the expanse of rural England for yourself.
> I've visited London only once 10 years ago
Clearly.
Yes. There's huge amount of fish bought in from inside the UK from Cornwall/Brixham etc etc. Never mind all the stuff that's air freighted here.
>Or frozen fish brought in from half a continent away?
All fish in the EU is frozen anyway [1].
