M&J Seafood have set up the British Skippers Scheme with specially selected skippers and boats around Britain, to bring you the finest quality fresh fish, caught responsibly. Through the scheme we receive reports direct from the fishermen who are catching our fish, letting us know what they’re going to land. We then have access to the best of their catch.
Because the fishing isn’t always good, bad weather means the boats don’t go out, and the variety of species caught can vary, our offerings will change with availability. So ask us about today’s catch - we’re sure you’ll enjoy it!
There are a range of different boats in the scheme, from inshore day boats to larger vessels that fish at sea for eight days (where it’s only the best of the last day’s catch reserved for us).

Jimmy Buchan, skipper of the 'Amity II', Scotland
Jimmy has been a fisherman for 31 years, recently becoming something of a celebrity after being featured in the BBC’s ‘Trawlermen’ series. Jimmy puts time and investment into new technology to improve the quality
of his catch.
Shaun Edwards, skipper of the 'Nova Spero', Cornwall
By the time he was 21 Shaun owned his own vessel and quickly established himself as one of Newlyn’s more respected and well known skippers. Seen by many in the port as an innovator, Shaun is looking forward to developing a long term sustainable fishery for future generations of Cornish fishermen.
