History

Liverpool's docks made it one of Britain's great trading ports, but the North West's fishing fleet was based at Fleetwood rather than on the Mersey. The city's part in the seafood trade has mainly been as a market and distribution point.

Key Species

Today, Liverpool's seafood trade encompasses a wide variety of species, including cod, haddock, salmon, prawns, and various shellfish, sourced globally and domestically for its processing and distribution networks.

Trade Role

Liverpool's seafood trade is mainly wholesale and foodservice distribution, supplying restaurants, retailers and caterers across Merseyside and the North West. For landings, Fleetwood is the region's main fishing port.
