Latest Seafood Industry News

Welcome to the summer 2025 newsletter, which aims to cover the June to August period for the supply of fresh and frozen fish and seafood. It’s been a busy few months in our industry with lots of activity around the potential of the new USA tariffs and their impact on prices. We’ve also had a really difficult few months on our core cod and haddock species with key fishing areas closing, and new quotas affecting availability. This challenging scenario is set to continue with an ongoing desperate shortage and sky high prices, combined with mixed quality on haddock in particular.

We are also starting to see the native lobster season kicking in, so get your specials boards ready for any UK landings. The weather in the UK has been extremely favourable during the spring. The continuation of this will encourage diners to get out for some al fresco dining, so talk to your account mangers about the plethora of fish that should be landed into our native auctions over the summer.
