Seafish is the public body supporting the £10bn UK seafood industry. Our vision is for an industry that is truly thriving. 

We sit at the heart of the seafood industry, bringing all sectors together to support them with the issues that matter most. We offer a central pool of expertise that can support our stakeholders and drive improvement across all areas of the industry.

Our area of work spans everything from catch to plate and our 80-plus professional staff work alongside their industry colleagues on big challenges and opportunities such as increasing consumption of seafood to improving responsible sourcing.

We are funded through a statutory levy made on the first sale of sea fish, shellfish, sea fish products and from landings destined for subsequent sale outside the UK.
