London’s Toughest Trader vs. New York’s Deadliest Fish Market 🗽🐟
Roger Barton, known as the "Bastard of Billingsgate," has dominated London’s fish trade for 50 years. But can he survive in the Bronx?

In this episode, Roger heads to the New Fulton Fish Market in Hunts Point—the biggest and roughest fish market in America. Pitting his life savings against veteran Italian traders, high-stakes auctions, and a brutal winter storm, Roger learns the hard way that New York plays by different rules. From a $1,500 disaster with jellied eels to a high-stakes gamble at the Maine docks, watch as Roger tries to prove that an Englishman can still make a "quid" in the city that never sleeps.
