FISH SUPPLY

A wide variety of species are landed to Plymouth Fish Market. The South West of England is renowned for the quality of its "day-caught" fish.

These landings by the local inshore fleet are supplemented by landings from the beam trawler fleet which fishes all round the UK and sends its fish back to Plymouth overland.

Most important species by value :
Dover Sole, Plaice, Lemon Sole, Megrim, Angler, Turbot, Brill, Bass, Cod, Pollack, Ray, Cuttle and Squid.
Many lesser value species are landed in large quantities e.g. Whiting, Pouting, Mackerel and Red Gurnard.
