A wonderfully antique advertising showcard promoting the “Ocean Swell” brand of smoked fish, produced by J. Amos & Son of Grimsby - one of Britain’s most historically significant fishing ports.

The sign advertises a selection of “tasty smoked fish,” including fillets, finnon haddocks and golden cutlets, all proudly described as products of genuine London curers.

Visually engaging and rich in period detail, the showcard also features the company name alongside its original Grimsby telephone number. The piece has striking, bold colours and imagery throughout, with the coastal fishing theme prominent throughout.
