Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
Devon plays a significant role in the UK's sole industry, particularly for Dover sole (Solea solea). Its rich fishing grounds in the English Channel provide a consistent supply, making it a vital hub for landings and trade. Brixham, as one of the UK's largest fishing ports, is central to this activity, attracting sole from local waters and beyond.
Devon boasts robust processing capabilities, with companies like Blue Sea Food Company in Brixham handling significant volumes of sole for both domestic and export markets. Brixham Fish Market is a key auction site, facilitating trade for local and national buyers. The sole industry provides substantial employment in fishing, processing, and logistics across coastal communities in Devon.
