A Dorset business supporting the sustainable fishing fleet in Weymouth
Food miles are measured in feet at seafood restaurant Catch at the Old Fish Market and fishmongers Weyfish. The busy restaurant and fishmongers are on the harbourfront of Weymouth in Dorset and local fishers walk a few feet to deliver their supplies.
The fishing industry has been central to Weymouth’s economy and culture for generations. Today, the majority of the local fleet are day boats, fishing the inshore waters with lines, nets and pots, the most sustainable of fishing methods, producing little by-catch or discards. Most boats are owner-operated, single handed, landing their catch daily on Custom House Quay.
