Bridlington Shellfish Co Ltd

Bridlington is now Britain's largest shell fishing port with a multi-million pound export market, supplying crabs and lobsters to markets.

Bridlington Shellfish has been part of this success, running a local co-operative for almost ten years. Their passionate advocacy of healthy eating and dedication to sourcing the freshest seafood imaginable has led them to inspire countless chefs and home cooks alike. Exporting fresh live seafood across the globe, Bridlington Shellfish has a reputation for providing an exceptionally friendly family service all year round from their unique storage facilities. Using many small fishing vessels, which land on a daily basis, the catch is checked for size and health before being placed in holding tanks. The chosen lobsters or crabs are then carefully packed and exported to various destinations. France, Spain, Switzerland, Japan and across the United Kingdom to name but a few. We have comprehensive harbourside holding facilities, enabling the shellfish to be transferred directly from the vessels to the live holding tanks (vivier). We're capable of holding quantities of up to 6 tonnes.
