Scottish family-run seafood business Scrabster Seafoods lost tons of lobsters, crabs and whitefish in a blaze that took firefighters around 10 hours to bring under control, reports The Press and Journal.

The company said it will continue operating on a limited basis from its old facility.

"There's going to be a lot of hard work to get things back to where they were but we have a lot of staff to think of to make sure their jobs are secured," the owner William Calder said.
