Subject: Application for Fishmonger position, [Shop or store]
Dear [Name],
Customers in [City] know your counter for its fish from local boats, and many of them come for advice as much as for the product. That is the kind of counter where I want to work, which is why I am replying to your fishmonger offer.
My CAP Poissonnier écailler was prepared as an apprentice at [Shop], [City], and I stayed on for [x] years after the diploma. I prepare round and flat fish to order, from simple fillets to portions ready to cook, and I open oysters quickly and cleanly. Every morning, I helped build the ice display and update the labels with species, catch area and production method. During the end-of-year season, I prepared seafood platters for many orders and helped organise the extra team.
I check freshness carefully on delivery, follow cold chain and hygiene procedures, and try to reduce waste by suggesting seasonal species or transforming unsold products. I enjoy explaining to customers how to cook a fish they do not know.
I am available for early mornings, weekends and holidays. I can come in for a trial morning, from the arrival of the catch to the opening of the counter.
