Have Brexit, pollution and the pandemic killed the great British shellfish industry?

the industry has been in a steady downward spiral.A post-Brexit world has proven to be a difficult place for shellfish fishermen. EU red tape in the immediate wake of Brexit caused prices to plummet and created chaos at the border, as British exporters got stuck with lorries full of live shellfish, only to be turned away if a form was filled out in the wrong colour pen. One company sent £15,000 worth of scallops to the border in January 2021 and got delayed due to paperwork errors; by the time they arrived in France, the scallops had gone off.In the year since, exporters have been trying to fathom the new regulations after Brussels ruled they could no longer bring live mussels, oysters, scallops, clams and cockles into Europe from what are referred to as ‘category B’ waters, unless they had been purified.
