Fish Index — UK, Ireland & Nordic Fish & Seafood Industry Directory
Hull, historically a major fishing port, maintains a significant role in the UK's seafood industry, including for sole. While deep-sea trawling has diminished, North Sea sole, particularly Dover sole, is still landed and processed here. Businesses like J. Marr Seafoods and UK Fisheries contribute to Hull's continued importance as a hub for this prized flatfish.
Hull boasts robust seafood processing capabilities, with facilities handling sole for both domestic and export markets. Although not a primary landing port for sole today, its strategic location and established infrastructure, including proximity to major transport links, make it crucial for distribution. The industry provides employment in processing, logistics, and wholesale, with Hull's fish market playing a role in regional trade.
