Unprecedented times ahead but as islanders we are a resilient bunch. For the fishermen, fish buyers & everybody that works on the markets it is business as usual. Please support our local fishing industry by continuing to buy our fantastic fresh fish.
Why are Scotland's waters so nutrient-rich? It's partly thanks to the combination of the cold North Atlantic waters and the warm Gulf Stream. ๐ค This perfect blend is just what our marine species need to flourish. ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ก
This week there were 7,863 boxes landed in the new interim fish market facility in Scalloway. This is the largest weekly landings total in Scalloway since the electronic auction commenced back in 2003

According to the Scottish government, around 5,000 jobs are directly reliant on the seafood and fishing industry in Scotland. We are proud of those hardworking individuals! ๐ช #SeaToPlate
It's an early morning at the #Lerwick fish market! ๐๐ One of Britain's main centres for the landing/selling/shipping #seafood, the market sees over 2,000 vessels per year.
Great opportunity for our delegation of chefs to view the catches and get to know the local fisherman. ๐
