The Scottish food exporting industry was promised friction-free access to European markets after Brexit.
Its most valuable export, shellfish, goes almost entirely to France, Spain and the Netherlands.
But mistakes, poor direction and last-minute regulations have all contributed to problems, leaving shellfish rotting in their containers.

Little islander mentality
Told ya! Ban Brexshit! Open borders!
She was sorting a nativity trail instead of reading a vital document for the countries future.. where do they find these numb nuts?
Private schools and universities. In a land where class and family background is everything!
Such a huge waste of food
Nativity trail took precedence over livelihoods. No questions as to what this government’s priorities lie.
Are the langoustines not transported in refrigerated trucks?
Why bin it or left to rot?
If they are not delivered,why don’t the supplier boil it and packaged it and sell it to super markets locally.
If prices are plummeting the locals can afford to savour the langoustines.
It’s no science fiction.
It’s common sense.🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐
Langoustines/crayfish have very delicate meat and they lose quality really fast if they are not eaten within a few hours after being caught. If you know your seafood, you can really tell whether what you are getting is fresh or not. That, of course, affects the taste/quality (and therefore, the price). If the delays mentioned here are substantial enough, the product can no longer be consumed safely. The crayfish start decomposing and the meat goes off. If they start to smell like ammonia, there’s nothing else that you can do other than throw them away. Seafood which has gone off can be particularly toxic (I’d rather eat a rotten tomato than a rotten crayfish) and so, retailers must be very careful about this question too.
As far as the question of demand and supply goes, the UK market alone cannot make up for these huge economic losses. If the price drops dramatically, then the sustainability of these businesses will certainly be compromised. Layoffs and bankruptcy for many will be inevitable.
An alternative would be to freeze them. The quality would still be pretty good, although not as good. That would affect the price that these crayfish can be sold for… but then, you would not have to worry so much about delays.
Errr, why dont you learn about food safety (especially the seafood chapter) before your “common sense ” poisons hundreds of people ? On top of that, brits do not eat shellfish, not because of price, but because they dont like it… why do you think these langoustines were all exported in the first place ?
They are transported to market live, if they don’t reach the destination within 2 days they are not considered fresh and the value drops by at least 50%. Customers want the freshest produce and that earns the premium price and supports the industry.
A lot of incompetent people making decisions in that country. The UK disease has always been bad managers.
The glorious nation of Ethiopia has always produced the best managers in the world, they’re managing the Tigray conflict very well indeed.
@Ivaan Kairav Tigray is just house cleaning. The junta leadership has all been decimated. They have un off into the mountains where they will play their cowardly taliban games. Our soldiers know what to do to them. Never under estimate Ethiopia. We have been around for 5000 years and more.
@Abraham Tsfaye You’re a clear coward to avoid my comment.
@tyson mcduggan Avoid what? I don’t see any of your comment.
@Abraham Tsfaye How convenient. So why are you always leaving stupid comments about the UK in Al Jazeera videos when the country is covered as a topic?
Looking forward to eat fresh Scottish langoustine again and cheer to Scotland coming back in the “big family” . Greeting from Europe
You do know that’s never going to happen
@Adam Zino UK dissolution is already in place, with a physical custom on the Irish sea.
After Ireland, Scotland.
@Adam Zino You do know that UK dissolution is already in progress.
After Checoslovakia and Jugoslavia, next is UK.
@Adam Zino do not write UK on export papers but GB or ur fish will come back to Britain 🙂
60% – 70% fishermen voted for Brexit, so this is what they voted for. Who would of guessed Project fear was true. If you believe a liar, your are an idiot. It was all pointed out if you become a 3rd country, there will be delays and a lot of extra paperwork. Ask an expert who can tell you, but the UK had enough of experts. Turkey’s voting for Christmas.
Look like all the workers in seafood factory all from Europe.
They are hard workers and friendly
GO SCOTLAND!!! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THE IGNORANCE AND CORRUPTION OF BRITAIN. FOOLS STILL WORSHIP A QUEEN 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Away you go worship a pope lol fool
Where was the Scottish people in this video I seen sum European working in the UK shocker
There are British people working in European countries as well. No surprise,really
Scotland will be fine. She is a great country with great people.
Brexiters, what did you expect?
So if England can leave the EU then shouldn’t the Scottish have the right to independence. What’s fair is fair & just!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha Scotland already had a vote on Independence and decided being British was the best option, England has had no such vote and has had to put up with the Scots, Northern Irish, Welsh all complaining yet being the ones that wanted to stay British. Britain as a whole voted for independence from the EU.
Baby T rump did you sleep through the last referendum
Boris is probably the best advertisement for Scottish independence at the moment and he doesn’t even know it
seafood looks so calm
They’re deceased, they are no more, dead as a dodo
Shalom, Salam, Peace. Why don’t they change their market to domestic, with perhaps a lower profit margin, instead of waste not want not. STAY SAFE! STAY WiSE!
90% of the Scottish shellfish catch is exported. Also, the fishermen get a better price.
4 days old, no thanks!

Why isn’t Scotland independant yet? That’s crazy.
2014 referendum 💙
We will be soon 🏴🏴🏴
In 2014, the Scots stayed w/ the UK because they wanted to remain in the EU.
Then two years later, the England and Wales said “We’re leaving b/c immigration and independence”
Scotland’s response since then has “Well, how about we try some of that independence thing, too?”
@G_Man The sole reason to remain in the UK was not whether or not they would be members of the EU but many other questions included.
That’s okay, they can sell their fish to unhygenix the fishmonger. He likes fresh fish., Their luverly!
This one is going to fly over a lot of people
Asterix isnt that far back.
Not as far as tintin
👍👍🇪🇺🏴🏴🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🏴🏴🏴
This is better than sky news reports
MSM never report on the real news. They are owned by the Mega group, so they are just script readers.
If there were major border delays then why were the fish sellers not quicker on their feet and contact distributors in the UK and sell it a lot cheaper to stores and that reduction could have been passed on to consumers. Consumers like sales. Could have some of that fish been sent to processes for freezing? Better to get even 1/2 the price than having it rot.
Viva Scotland
England will not allow another Scotland indy vote, maybe in 100 years
Scotland had a vote not long ago, yet England never got to vote on whether or not to leave the UK! Scotland wants the best of both Worlds, more autonomy but with the safety net that is the UK. If Scotland went independent, it’d be bankrupt within months. Why should Scotland be able to have vote after vote just because it’s full of idiots? The rest of us are paying for these votes and for Scotland’s freebies.
As France are not allowed to bring their huge trawers here this is their response. Almost 100% Scottish fishermen voted for Brexit!!
On the WEST coast of Scotland, the west coast fishermen who fish for seafood voted to stay in the EU. The EAST coast voted for brexit for more sea and fish
That’s what they have voted for 😂 no sympathy at all
Well actually the seafood fishermen on the west coast voted to stay in the EU. It was the fishermen on the east coast of Scotland that voted for brexit. They wanted more fish and more money. They are millionaires anyway. Scotland did not want to leave the EU
the only way for Scotland is independance and EU like Ireland 🙂
What people don’t realise is most people who voted against Scotland becoming independent did so because they wanted to stay within the EU.
Qatar and Turkey should finance Scottish freedom fighters.
Langoustines and chips will be the new national meal.
Brexit just won’t stop giving!
