Some sellers in Billingsgate also operate on a wholesale only basis - plenty of people selling fish by the box. Smithfields did have far more wholesale-only sellers (i.e. whole primal) vs sellers who had portioned down for consumers, though, so that's probably where your impression came from! Definitely did have some stalls that operated almost like delis though.
Thought it was wholesale only, as I tried to buy a small pig once, but couldn't find anyone to sell me one.
Also didn't know you could just buy two or three steaks.
