BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, 22/02/20 Fishing

What future for the fishing industry? We visit a fish market in Scotland to find out.

Most fishermen were glad to leave the EU, what are their hopes and fears for the future? We speak to fishermen at Fraserburgh Harbour in Aberdeenshire.

From trade tariffs and trawlers, to crab meat and quotas, how will fishermen fare in a post-Brexit landscape?

Nancy Nicolson visits Fraserburgh on the North East coast of Scotland. Once at the heart of the herring industry, it now lands all kinds of fish, from cod and haddock, to herring, sardines and shellfish.

We ask buyers and sellers in the fish market, what lies on the horizon for their industry.

Presented by Nancy Nicolson
Produced by Rebecca Rooney

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
