Don't understand the weird fetishism over fishing, the money's terrible, the work dangerous, the stock which Brits actually eat permanently depleted and the UK's fishing quotas were sold off (by UK gov) to a handful of hedge funds years ago who are the only people in the mix who see a real guaranteed profit.

I'm not sure you'll find a huge queue forming to risk life and limb for 10K a year - on the hope that 10 years down the line you might make 30k as a skipper....aside from the tech having moved on a bit, a single super trawler is a match for an entire fishing community back in the halycon days the flag shaggers seem to think we're returning to.
