History

Historically, Bristol was one of Britain's major trading ports, and fish was among the goods its merchants handled. The city never developed a large fishing fleet of its own.

Key Species

Seafood handled through Bristol's wholesale trade includes cod, haddock, salmon, prawns and shellfish, sourced from other UK ports and from imports.

Trade Role

Bristol's seafood trade centres on wholesale and foodservice distribution to restaurants, retailers and caterers in the city and the wider South West. For landings, the region's main fishing ports include Brixham, Plymouth and Newlyn.
