Once known as the world’s busiest fishing port, Grimsby on the east coast of England, had, by the end of the 20th century dwindled to a shadow of its former glory – but now, thanks to investment, development and regeneration, this once famous centre of fishing has become one the most important fish markets in the United Kingdom.
Although the Grimsby fleet has, from the heady days of the hundreds of deep-water vessels working North Sea and distant water fishing grounds for cod, now reduced to a handful of trawlers and netters, the onshore side of the industry has seen a major upturn in fortunes thanks a dedicated strategy of ensuring supplies to UK consumers by the Grimsby Fish Market, part of the Grimsby Fish Dock Enterprises company.
