Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
While not a primary landing site for large-scale shrimp fisheries, Norfolk's coastline, particularly around The Wash, supports brown shrimp (Crangon crangon) populations, historically harvested by small-scale inshore trawlers. These smaller, artisanal operations contribute to local seafood markets and heritage, with businesses like those operating from Wells-next-the-Sea or Brancaster sometimes offering locally caught shrimp.
Norfolk's shrimp industry is characterised by its small scale, with limited dedicated processing capacity beyond basic preparation for local consumption or direct sales. Key markets are often local restaurants, fishmongers, and farm shops across the county, rather than large national distributors. Employment in shrimp fishing is minimal, typically involving a handful of independent fishermen, and the trade is more about local provenance and seasonal availability than significant economic contribution or export.
