Brixham Fish Market Booms Post-Brexit

Largest Market in the Country

Brixham Fish Market, once a well-established hub in Devon, has taken advantage of Brexit to expand significantly. It now holds the title of the largest fish market in the country, with 130 businesses operating within it.

Record-Breaking Sales

In 2021, the market reached new heights, achieving a record £435 million in fish sales. This makes it the biggest market by value in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The momentum continued in 2022, with sales exceeding £60 million.

Continued Growth

Despite initial concerns about the impact of Brexit on the fishing industry, Brixham Fish Market has demonstrated resilience and growth. This success story is particularly significant for Brixham Trawler Agents, who have played a pivotal role in the market's transformation.

Future Plans

The market aims to build on its recent achievements. A new proposal outlines plans to reclaim land to extend the harbor and fish market infrastructure, ensuring the continued success of this vital industry in Brixham.
