A new fish and seafood shop will open on Wealdstone High Street, taking over the former Wenzel’s bakery unit. S&Q Fresh Fish & Seafood has begun fitting out the premises, with a blue shopfront and signage now in place. The business already operates a branch on Hertford Road in Enfield.
The shop will sell fresh and frozen fish, including seabass, salmon, mackerel, prawns and lobster. It will also stock Afro-Caribbean groceries and vegetables such as yam, spinach, tomatoes and ginger. The range matches the products available at the Enfield store, as reported by Harrow Online.

Wenzel’s closure and new tenant
The Wealdstone unit was one of Wenzel’s flagship stores, trading on the High Street for more than 20 years. The bakery closed permanently in July, along with its branch on St Ann’s Road in Harrow town centre. Harrow Online reported at the time that a buyer had been found for the Wealdstone premises.
Work on the new shop has progressed quickly. The frontage has been repainted and signage installed, though no official opening date has been announced. Harrow Online approached Wenzel’s for comment on the closure but received no response.
