From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"The Worshipful Company of Fishmongers is one of the 108 Livery Companies of the City of London, being a guild of the sellers of fish and seafood in the City. The Company ranks fourth in the order of precedence of the Livery Companies, making it one of the Great Twelve City Livery Companies.
The Worshipful Company of Fishmongers was formed in 1537 and is the fourth in order of precedence. The arms have, on the dexter side a Merman armed and holding in his right hand a Falchion and with his left sustaining the Helm and Timbre, and on the sinister side a Mermaid holding in her left hand a Mirror and supporting the Arms with her right hand, all proper. The inclusion of the mythical creatures seem to be right for fishmongers!" Text Source: (
