North Atlantic,Padstow, Cornwall, UK - Commercial Fishing Ports on Waymarking.com

Padstow’s working fishing boats provide one of the town’s greatest attractions. They come in all shapes and sizes. Most of the smaller boats are inshore crabbers landing daily their catches of lobster, crayfish and crab. The larger boats are either netters or trawlers catching several species of fish off the South West coast and further out into the Atlantic Ocean. When the boats return to Padstow after a fishing trip, crowds often gather on the quayside to watch the catch being unloaded. Most of the fish landed is then transported to auction at either Brixham or Newlyn. Some of course is also sold on to local fishmongers and restaurants. The advent of the famous Seafood Restaurant and other outstanding fish restaurants has transformed the fresh fish and shellfish market in Padstow. Shops on South Quay now sell a mouthwatering variety of freshly caught fish and shellfish to restaurants and visitors alike and many’s the visitor returning home from a holiday in Cornwall with a cool box full of the freshest Padstow fish and seafood. The town’s reputation for supplying the very best in food from the sea is alive and thriving.
