There was an article on fishing in NI on BBC (can dig it out let me know if you want it)
Now those towns tend to be unionist, so identity/instinct voting played a role.
Ultimately though many were still sore about EU quota (which are a bit low for some seafood as set in 1975) and blamed the EU on the decline in fishing...though most of that was caused by the UK government quota system.
Of course those feelings easily got exploited and here we are now. The only one that disagreed was a younger scallops fisher who was worried about EU markets/his fishing rights in Bay of Biscay, the older ones were all "no, get us out!"
