Oh aye, and I spotted earlier they've also decided to get into an argument with a professor of international law who specialises in fisheries, which is only going to end one way...

U.K. Businesses Drowning in Red Tape Under Brexit Border Rules
While the mile-long lines of trucks have dissipated at ports, U.K. businesses are waking up to less visible forms of friction at the border with the European Union that may cause more enduring damage.

I am interested in this sign in the background of the video.
I wonder what the back story to that is. A bit of googling suggests recent prohibitions on landing berried (carrying eggs) or crippled (missing claws) lobsters in the UK. But are they allowed to, if they sell them to EU countries with fewer regulations?

I'm sure that makes them proud
Last time I opened a Birdseye fish it gave me a wink and waved a little tiny English flag at me and said “I’m backing Boris”
That's nothing. Last time I opened a can of mackerel they all got out and sang Rule Britannia.

EU tech reg post dates the internal Brit Berried regs. Technically yes but it’s a twats trick to sell them

NFFO statement on what they're now calling a 'mounting crisis' in the fishing industry.
I really don't envy the poor sods from Defra who've got to sit on that stakeholder group, especially since they're going to have to explain that they can iron out all the short-term obstacles there are, but it's still going to be slower to get the fish to where they can sell it, so it's going to be that much less fresh and therefore that much less valuable. The last sentence of that statement is hilarious, though; as if some people still haven't given up on the whole 'German car makers' fantasy.

"This mounting crisis in the export of fish and shellfish highlights the anomaly through which the UK has unilaterally provided a six-month period of grace for imports to the UK. Whilst EU products face frictionless trade, our exports hit a range of non-tariff barriers which have paralysed our export trade. There is an obvious case for parity as the various border issues are sorted out."
Seems a bit weird that the grace period is one way, also seems clear thats the short term solution, to ask very very nicely for the same....though would that just be putting off the inevitable?

You are being a disingenuous arse if you are suggesting premium scottish live shellfish would not sell at Billingsgate.

ive no idea topcat, only answer i found on twitter was this
i expect the fishers will be trying anything and everything - im sure they're not holding back from selling it to make a point

I think the point is that they do.
Of course it would - and does - but not in anywhere near the quantity or at anywhere near the price it has done up til now, so it won't be worth at least some of the catchers' and processors' while to deal with it.
But if you want to be narky about it, are you ready to admit you were wrong yet?
