| Video Discription | Enjoy this walking tour of Brixham, Devon as I take you around Brixham Harbour to discover what this busy Devonshire fishing town has to offer those who visit Brixham. Brixham has England’s largest fish market. In value terms of fish sold it can reach in excess of £40 million a year. Fishing being a local tradition dating back to the 14th century, Brixham is regarded as being one of the birthplaces of trawling. In the 19th century Brixham had around 270 sailing decked trawlers employing 1600 seamen making it “the largest fishery in England”. The fleet has a variety of local day boats and larger beam trawlers who stay at sea for 5 to 7 days at a time. Fishing grounds are mainly in the English Channel but also in waters as far afield as the Bristol Channel and the Irish Sea. There are also a number of scallop boats that operate in local waters all year round. Over 40 different species of fish are caught with the main catches being Cuttlefish, Lemon and Dover Sole, Squid, Monkfish and Turbot. Many other species are caught too, including scallops, hake, bass, pollock and plaice. Brixham Marina provides a yacht charter and a sea school. Basic provisions and diesel are available and there is a bar and restaurant. Music has the licence paid for through Storyblocks. [CLgzsoqJy4Q] |
