Shetland

Fishing has been the mainstay of life in Shetland for thousands of years and remains the most important sector of the local economy.

The Shetland Islands are equi-distant from the UK mainland, Norway and the Faroe Islands meaning we are at the heart of Europe’s richest fishing grounds. Shetland is fortunate to have a modern and innovative family-owned fishing fleet landing fish into newly built state-of-the-art markets. The fishing boats land their catches after one to four days at sea, so fish is always fresh. Our buyers select the best fish to suit our customer’s requirements.
