Aldi launch new range across UK in bid to support British fishing industry Aldi is making a change to its fish counters in a bid to support the British fishing industry, the supermarket chain has announced. Aldi is launching a new range of seasonal fish to support the British fishing industry that has been hit hard by the closure of hospitality venues. On sale from Thursday 13th May, the Specialbuy range, available from £1.49, features species mostly fished on the south coast of Britain that would normally have been sold to restaurants across the UK and Europe.  It marks the first t...

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK said : “At Aldi, we’re committed to supporting British food producers. With so many challenges facing the British fishing industry, we spoke to our suppliers to see what we could do to help. “We’re delighted to be able to purchase this seasonal fish stock that might otherwise go to waste, and it’s great for customers too who’ll be able to enjoy restaurant quality seasonal fish at Aldi prices.” Alison Pessell, Auctioneer at Plymouth Fish Market, described the move as a lifeline for the industry.

Supermarket giant Morrisons has bought Cornish seafood supplier Falfish for an undisclosed sum 17 years after the pair first went into partnership together. The Yorkshire-based grocer said the deal would mean 80 per cent of their fish and shellfish will derive from operations it controls and make it the first British supermarket to possess a fishing trawler.

Coming two months after 9/11, the Agenda did not have a smooth ride into the new millennium and got stuck somewhere in the “modalities” blues after 2015.   On March 1, 2021 Dr. Ngozi Okonjo...

For four tempestuous days and nights the trawler Sam of Ladram had been scooping up cuttlefish, 20 miles off our South-West coast. By Thursday morning the storm had abated, and I watched its five crew offload the inky catch — known as 'black gold' in these parts — in their home port of Brixham, Devon. With me was Ian Perkes, the town's only fish exporter.  Ordinarily, he would have been eyeing the six-tonne haul with a view to buying a sizeable chunk, for £2 a kilo, at yesterday's harbour-side auction, then selling it — with a 10 per cent mark-up — to wholesalers across Europe, wher...
