Cuttlefish in Yorkshire
While not a traditional cornerstone of Yorkshire's fishing heritage, cuttlefish are increasingly landed in the region, particularly as bycatch from trawl fisheries targeting other species in the North Sea. This growing presence offers new opportunities for local seafood businesses and diversifies the offerings from ports like Scarborough and Bridlington, catering to both domestic and international demand for this versatile cephalopod.

Cuttlefish Industry in Yorkshire
Yorkshire's processing capacity for cuttlefish is evolving, with some local merchants and fishmongers, such as those operating out of Staithes and Whitby, handling smaller quantities for local consumption and specialist markets. Key ports like Scarborough and Bridlington see occasional landings, often destined for larger processing hubs outside the region or direct export, particularly to Southern European and Asian markets where cuttlefish is highly valued. The trade contributes modestly to local employment within the seafood supply chain.
