Annually, more than £25 million of fish is landed and auctioned. Buyers include national processors (for supplying to top restaurants and supermarkets), and local fishmongers and restaurants. A good 50% of the auction is exported worldwide.

Now in its 11th year, Brixham Fish Market Tours are back and still proving to be very popular. Early risers won’t want to miss the opportunity to get a fascinating insight into behind-the-scenes operations at England’s largest fish market.

We will show you the operational side of the daily fish auction process and give you the opportunity to see up to 40 different species of fish and get an insight into how this fascinating process works. We will give you an insight into the understanding of what’s involved in getting the fish from sea to plate, learn about day boats & trawlers, and there may even be a chance to see some grey seals which often frequent the harbourside!

To finish off the morning, we will top it up with a delicious fish breakfast at Mitch Tonks’ Rockfish restaurant,

The tours are very popular and with only 30 people on each session, we recommend that you book well in advance.

Please be aware that we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs or children under the age of 14yrs.

The fish market is a refrigerated area so be sure to wear warm clothing.
