- 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.
Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports from Glasgow, Scotland.

Scotland. Declare your independence. It's time to do.
Yep, we are packing the bags
Absolutely
Such a huge waste of food
Brexiters, what did you expect?
You lost. Dry your eyes.
@@geraltofrivea7759 I'm not from the UK. Enjoying my popcorn :)
Andrew S we’ll bully for you
4 days old, no thanks!
Most of the Scottish fishermen voted to leave, so they have to accept the consequences. Out means out.
No, that was the English Fisherman that wanted it.
The scots wanted to stay in the EU.
@@thewingedhussar4188 Scotland voted 62% to remain in the EU. But from the 38% that voted to leave I'm sure that there were lots of fishermen.
@@erikj123 (shrugs)
Still that is more then enough that would want independence now.
An they should grasp it.
No matter how you look at it, scotland is being hit hard because the idiots in westminister didn't listen to them and now is plunging the country into economic hardship. At least independence gives us a way out.
They got lied too remember, but they have a chance of getting back in with independence.
@@erikj123 Like the 49% who voted to remain.. but Scottish fisherman have a chance of getting back in with Scotlands independence.
Thanks lot ALJAZEERA Times
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.
Muslim Stream Media
i mean, its just one old scottish guy moaning.
Bangladeshi shrimp business also facing the same problem 😢😢😢
Your trucks are taking longer than a day to drive to France too?
Clearly Westminster's fault.
We need schotland independent
Woy noyd skoatesh endipandunce
Viva Scotland
Little islander mentality
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.
Britain doesn't eat the same kind of fish EU countries do
Ronald Scordia, now that's a good Celtic name...
Hard to access, business down
the local nativity trail, perfect, i will use the same next time my boss ask me for a explanation
Lol I like it
Pre Brexit
We want to be left alone!
Post Brexit
We are left alone!
Ok great, that is what you wanted?
Haha I love these fishing comedians😂😂 These videos should have Benny Hill theme playing. More fitting.
Have to go to Al Jazeera to get an honest report on how Scotland feels about Brexit.
how does this represent Scotland? lol its one old guy moaning. he probably didn't read the new regulations, when we left the EU the EU (obviously bullying/attempting to disrupt) said we have to issue catch certificates and health inspections etc. hoping to trip up people like this old guy which meant that some people didnt follow the new regulations which in turn left catches being unable to be exported. the government is actually compensating anyone effected by it anyway, even though it was probably their own failures to get the right documents.
Scotland. For heaven's sake: declare your independence and rejoin the EU.
Its coming.
Absolutely
"Scordia" it would be a good name for a legendary sword.
Langoustines and chips will be the new national meal.
Alexander Barron, so 7 years is a once in a generation vote. Are your years like dog years.
Yep its on the Edinburgh agreement and one that Ireland has too
That's why Scotland should split from the UK and rejoin the EU!
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
62% in Scotland said no, the 38% voted because of lies.
Scotland voted to remain in the EU
Look like all the workers in seafood factory all from Europe.
They are hard workers and friendly
hope everyone is enjoying their new found freedom post brexit
That’s a horrible thing to say. Scotland didn’t want to Brexit they voted remain.
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.
@@ivaankairav3654 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.
@@tysonmcduggan6870 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?
Do they taste like Prawns as never tried them ?. I would like to buy Cooked Shrimp or Prawn still shelled so cheaper to buy would buy by the kilo
Majority of Scottish people vote for remain in EU, but guess who voted leave among Scott’s? Fishermen!
But they get a chance to correct it with an independence vote soon
Really I thought it was the Cornish fisherman
Scotland will be fine. She is a great country with great people.
Why is the EU being so shellfish?
Idiot! That's what the consequences they (Brexiters) got! According to Prime Minister Borris Johnson he will follow Canada-EU trading style, since you follow Canada-EU trading style that's the consequences. Use your very common sense!
@@2557carla You can dial it back a little. I was just making a clever pun that you clearly did not get. So, who is the idiot?
big blob this has nothing to do with the EU being shellfish, it’s the English Government that wanted Brexit. If your going to make a joke make one that makes sense
@@artfull334 It's a pun, it makes sense! Grow a sense of humor, your life will be better.
big blob I know it’s a joke you fool. Your joke is funny BUT it’s not the EU that’s shellfish🙄
It’s Brexit that’s selfish. Your joke should be is Brexit So shellfish
Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Fishing industry best
The SNP government are in disarray and support for scottish independence has fallen drastically. EU are showing its true colours towards Irish fisherman.
Al Jazeera are well known for their jealous hatred towards the UK.
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
This hase notting to de with the French , you left the costums union single market of the EU , your a 3rth country now so you have to deal with lots of papers and checks at te border , that's Brexit .
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.
Go for it
ഞങ്ങടെ എത്ര ചെമ്മീന് ഇതുപോലെ ayekunnu..
you dont fish anymoooore
Can i get job in this factory .
Its simple.. deduct any compensation paid to UK FisherPersons (due to EU underhand tactics) from any Money that we pay to the EU
EU didn't us underhand anything.....our MEPS organised this and the likes of Farage voted on it.
@@casperwallace9685 Organised What & Voted on What.
Yanis Varoufakis & Tony Benn got it Right about the EU.
The EU... Such a Virtuous, Integral & Transparent Organisation ..NOT
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.
I really feel sorry for the Scottish fishermans, because a lot voted for remain, and now they have to pay from the lies from Westminster, sorry boys.
Its ok they have a chance via Scotland independence
The british government let everybody down, it was so easy staying in the CU and SM that was enough for all the small businesses, but i am glad that Britain is out of the EU, i dont want Farage back in the EU as a member.
Qatar and Turkey should finance Scottish freedom fighters.

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.
@@mimovil8730 Thanks for explanation. Looking at those crayfish makes me so hungry.
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.
England has no say in it. Like EU has no say in UK leaving that union
Up the revolution
