Shetland Seafood Auctions

Unprecedented times ahead but as islanders we are a resilient bunch. For the fishermen, fish buyers & everybody that works on the markets it is business as usual. Please support our local fishing industry by continuing to buy our fantastic fresh fish.

Why are Scotland's waters so nutrient-rich? It's partly thanks to the combination of the cold North Atlantic waters and the warm Gulf Stream. 🤔 This perfect blend is just what our marine species need to flourish. 🐟🦐🦀🐡

Today, Scotland’s traditional fishing, farming and production methods flourish alongside an evolving modern industry. #lovescottishseafood
