Live shellfish exporters in East Yorkshire and Devon say new certification requirements are 'unworkable'
So the alternative is to let foreign fleets come in and lift the catch instead ?
I'd rather let the marine environment recover thanks.

If we do leave on a No deal and enforce OUR own laws on OUR territorial waters, the E.U boats will be swinging round to Ireland for their catches, less fish on Irish plates I'm guessing?
Worse for mussell producers, who also export more than half of their production to EU. If there's a no deal they will not be able to export at all as there is no process for third country mussel imports to EU; if there is a deal the EHC process is expected to take too long to allow exports to take place.
Why would anyone vote against their catch being sold in the U.K. I eat Lobsters and Crabs that I buy in Grimsby. The more the merrier. This catch is sold in the EU because they will pay more. It’s a free market.
Yorkshire, Dartmouth ... weren't that the areas where people who voted for Brexit??
fishermen have to buy rope in portugal, clothes in france and wellies in holland?!?
What garbage, if they now have to buy british that will be a good thing, though of course they won't have to, they will still be able to get those, just as they will still be able to sell their produce. There will be a once in a lifetime price hike due to tariffs and then things will settle straight back down.

Looking forward to cheaper crab and lobster on our supermarket shelfs - super!
Is there a realistic expectation of fishermen accepting reduced prices at market for the supermarket prices to drop?
Looks like we might have some crab and lobster for Xmas, damn all else though!
We always have tins of baked beans to fall back on, why complain about the things most working folk never get to dine on?
Maybe, we'll all get a chance very soon and about time!

99% of fishermen voted for Brexit. They obviously took all these factors into consideration when they voted. If they didn't, they will reap what they have sowed ....
The E.U killed off our fishing industry, time to get those seaside towns back to where they should be and bring back the prosperity where it belongs!
They are selling their catch where the market is. Nothing stopping from them selling in the UK and they will already have supplied the market adequately. The maths is they are going to go out of business in many cases. Because Brexiters can't do maths, even really simple maths.
I thought Farmers and Fishermen were broadly in favour of Brexit at the time. Now all I hear is complaints that they cant sell their produce or catch in Europe! Talk about 'be careful what you wish for!'
This is what happens when people believe the lies spun by those who seek to benefit from leaving the EU - having been conditioned by the largely non-dom press to believe that the cause of all their ills was the EU.
Promised a "cake and eat it" deal by Vote Leave that could not happen.
The naive were led by the unscrupulous in pursuit of an outcome that benefits few at the expense of many.

You can't lump all fishermen together. Scottish fishing may possibly benefit from no-deal, but a quarter of all British fish exports are of shellfish and to the EU.

And so far as I can tell, half of quotas in England were sold off to foreign ownership.

Over 55% of English fishing quota has been sold overseas, 17% of Welsh, 5% of Scottish and less than 2% of Northern Irish.

Schadenfreude. Brexiteer fishermen, farmers & Sunderland car workers & the other idiots who voted likewise will get what they asked for & deserve. The trouble is the rest of us will pay, too. Britain will be a 3rd World country soon enough. Our corrupt politicians will see to it.
You hit the nail on the head! Misled by politicians and elements of the media people voted without thinking about the implications. Now they may learn the hard way.
Crab and lobster fishers in a pinch? Well you don't have to butter me up I'll get cracking on this straight away. I'm sure I can come up with a solution everyone can sink their teeth into.
As your cousin I ask you to eat shellfish to sell fish. Only the allergic have an excuse to not do their bit to help out. Please make this sacrifice and go out and get some tail.
