18 FISHING PETERHEAD PORT AUTHORITY HANDBOOK PETERHEAD PORT AUTHORITY HANDBOOK FISHING 19 TV Stars Fish Town, the BBC documentary series, shone a new spotlight on Peterhead, the UK’s biggest fishing port. To quote the BBC, the programme focused on the ‘the extraordinary people working on land and at sea to put the fish on our plates’. Fish Town told the behind-the-scenes story – of the hard work, dedication, expertise and unrelenting focus on quality that underpins Peterhead’s success. The BBC also created a few celebrities along the way – not least Peterhead Port Authority Operation and Compliance Manager Allison Sherrington. The fish market has become a visitor attraction in its own right, although there are obviously restrictions in place during the Covid-19 pandemic. As well as attracting a steady stream of high-profile visitors, including politicians, the market has become a popular destination for school outings and numerous clubs and societies. “We have had many school visits to the new fish market – so we are telling the story to the next generation”, says Allison Sherrington. “We have had numerous visits from groups such as Rotary Clubs and we have had a lot of television coverage – and all of this is enhancing our reputation as a leading fishing port. It is publicity which is great for the port”. Peterhead is recognised as a ‘centre of excellence’ for the fishing industry. Those on the outside may not grasp the true extent of activity. Providing the facilities to land catches is just the start. This centre of excellence also includes: l The facilities and expertise for repairing nets. l Facilities for maintaining and repairing vessels. l A state-of-the-art Shiplift handling vessels of up to 2,000 tonnes. l A covered repair hall for year- round working, accommodating vessels up to 47 metres long and 25 metres high. l A four-berth slipway for vessels with a keel length of up to 27.4 metres and beam of 7.2 metres, and a drydock for vessels up to The investment in the market Market Day entire development was welcomed by example, a fishing boat could come into online overnight and continually updated 57.9 metres long and 10.6 metres The sale of a £130 box of cod marked local councillors as ‘a real vote of port at 3am, land its catch and be back so that buyers can monitor the website wide, with maximum draft of totalled around £9 million, the very first sale at Peterhead’s new fish confidence in the town and in the future out at sea by 6am, to start fishing again. and make their purchasing decisions 4.5 metres. while the harbour upgrade market in June 2018.
