Oh absolutely. Relatively speaking it’s a small number. But it’s still a big thing for the small fishing communities around Anstruther. A lot, if not all the fish in good restaurants in Edinburgh and Glasgow comes from the markets on the east coast. There’s even a mobile fish van that comes from St. Monans all the way to my street(I live outside Glasgow)!
I have close friends from the area who’s families still live there and pretty much all of them are fishermen.

but still a fairly small number in the scheme of things
The commercial fishing industry provided employment for a headcount of 4,860 people, contributing 0.18% of the total Scottish employment.
