Ed Millaband got a question from Joey Essex. About Fish. Why our fishermen are shafted by Europe over fishing waters.
maybe main land Europe get the good fish to feed the rich customers in Europe.
not a lot of Lobster customers in our towns?

I think we signed a fishing agreement with the EU that we have to adhere to. However I am not sure if there is a lobster clause in it.
They get to suck the delicious red lobster meat juices and we sit like turnips and say it's okay? mugs.
The UK's exports consist mainly of our domestic catch as this gains a higher value in foreign markets. However, over the last year export volumes have increased +6.6% to 491,657 tonnes, their worth has decreased -4.3% to £1.45bn due to shifting species performance.
Salmon maintains its position as the UK's top export but has experienced falling volumes and deflation.
Prawns/langoustines are now our second largest exported species as mackerel has moved to fourth and third place is now held by scallops.
The eight main export markets for the UK remain the same with a few changes in ranking over the last year. France and the USA maintain top destinations for our seafood exports followed by Spain (up one place), the Irish Republic (down one place), Italy (up one place), China (down one place), Netherlands and Germany.
Ninth position is now held by Nigeria to whom the UK exported 129% more seafood by value in the last year and Poland has moved to our tenth largest export destination.
