Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
While Norfolk is not a primary landing port for wild prawns, its strategic location on the East Anglian coast makes it a significant hub for prawn processing and distribution within the UK. Companies like Young's Seafood, with facilities in the wider region, contribute to the supply chain, handling imported prawns that are then distributed across the country. The county's excellent transport links and proximity to major markets solidify its role in the broader seafood industry for this popular species.
Norfolk's seafood industry, particularly around Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn, plays a vital role in the processing and cold storage of prawns, predominantly imported varieties. Although direct landings of native prawns are limited, businesses here support significant employment in logistics, processing, and distribution. The county acts as a key gateway for seafood entering the UK, with established infrastructure facilitating the efficient movement and trade of prawns to national retailers and food service sectors.
