I’m not totally sure what happens to the fish caught here but I doubt it’s on the scale you’re thinking - these are tiny boats (under 10m) and by all accounts the catches and quotas are tiny too. It looks as if most fish are traded locally and I would be surprised if any leave the south east tbh.
The local guys are shafted by quotas but it’s nothing to do with the EU.
No point catching it if you can’t process it (foreign labour) or sell it (we may face significant obstacles getting into the EU market for fish).
