Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
Yorkshire plays a significant role in the UK's Plaice industry, with its North Sea coastline providing rich fishing grounds for this popular flatfish. Major fishing ports like Scarborough and Bridlington are key hubs for Plaice landings, supplying fresh catches to local markets and beyond. The region's strong maritime heritage and proximity to abundant Plaice stocks make it a vital area for the species' sustainable harvesting and distribution.
Yorkshire boasts robust seafood processing capabilities, with companies such as JCS Fish in Grimsby (though technically Lincolnshire, it's a major regional player) handling significant volumes of Plaice. Bridlington remains the largest shellfish port in Europe, also handling whitefish, while Scarborough actively lands Plaice. The industry provides essential employment in coastal communities, with Plaice being a consistent and valued component of the trade, supplying both domestic consumption and export markets.
