Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
Aberdeen, a pivotal hub in the Scottish seafood industry, plays a significant role in the langoustine (Nephrops norvegicus) trade. Its strategic North Sea location provides direct access to rich fishing grounds, making it a primary landing and distribution point for this highly prized shellfish. Local businesses, including established fish merchants and processors, leverage Aberdeen's infrastructure to handle substantial volumes, cementing its importance for both domestic and international markets.
Aberdeen boasts robust processing capabilities, with several seafood companies specialising in sorting, grading, and packing langoustines for live, fresh, and frozen distribution. Peterhead, Europe's largest whitefish port, and Fraserburgh, also significantly contribute to langoustine landings, with much of the product then transported to Aberdeen for further processing and export. The langoustine trade supports numerous jobs in fishing, processing, logistics, and export, with a considerable portion destined for high-value markets in Southern Europe.
