Fisheries Sector
In the summer of 2007, the South East England
Development Agency (SEEDA) launched the South East Fishing Industry
Development Plan.
Our Fisheries section is dedicated to the
implementation of this plan and will feature information about South
East Fisheries, events, information for the industry, research and
trade opportunities.

‘My father, Sid, started selling fish off a stall in
the Open Market, London Road, Brighton, in 1932. In those
days there were hundreds of boats fishing out of Brighton.
These fish were all sold to local and London Markets.
Brighton Market alone had 10 fish stalls, with scores of
local fishmongers and barrow boys. It now has only two
stalls and there are just 15 fishing boats surviving that
fish out of Brighton Marina.’
