Ramsey - Isle of Man - Commercial Fishing Ports on Waymarking.com

The principally catch for the fishing fleet in recent times is scallops and the related but smaller queen scallops known on the Island as 'Queenies'.

In the 19th Century catches landed at Ramsey were sold in the Market Place in front of St. Paul's church, which adjoins the quayside.

Historically the Island is noted worldwide for the Manx Kipper, produced from the summer/autumn herring fishery. However the fishing grounds around the Island also yield a variety of other species which are valued by commercial and leisure fishermen - notably cod, sole, skate and plaice.
