Fathom: getting below the surface of the UK fishing industry.
Fathom 6: Rapid response
Show Notes

In response to Covid-19 and its immediate impact on the fishing industry,  Paul and Chris discuss the following topics: 

  • The current state of the market in the south west 
  • The emergency #FishtoYourDoor initiative set up by Seafood Cornwall to provide a matchmaking service to customers in isolation who want fresh fish delivered to their door with fish merchants and fishmongers who can provide a delivery service. The customer gets Cornish fish on demand, and supports local fishermen - everyone wins! Email info@seafoodcornwall.org.uk if you are interested. 
    • Buying and selling of first sale fish. Want to know how to do it?  Check the poster on how you can sell direct the right way! 
  • Support for fishermen who are struggling financially and with their mental health
