Landing and sorting

Plymouth Trawler Agents Limited takes full care and control of your catch from point of landing on the quay to point of despatch to buyers after the auction.

All fish is sorted and graded for size and quality to EU standards where applicable.
Many species of fish are machine graded ensuring accurate sizes and batch weights.

Fish is entered in the system via hand-held computers and tactile screens linked to scales.
As the fish is being entered, a catalogue is being compiled which registered buyers can access for pre-sale information.

After all the handling procedures have been completed, the fish is kept well iced in chilled storage rooms before the sale.

The complete operation is under 24 hour CCTV surveillance.




Overland fish

	The Company receives a steady supply of fish overland from ports in the South West e.g. Padstow and large ports like Liverpool, a considerable distance from Plymouth. Transport can be arranged at reasonable cost for owners/fishermen wishing to send their fish to Plymouth for auction.
