I suspect/hope they will have some succes
the actual demand hasn’t gone away, just the access to supply it
I also would have a good bet they’re looking at as many other options as they can, whether it be non European markets
farming different types of fish or whateve
This could largely be impossible though, and a risk that most should not be taking.You need to dig in and adapt, deal with the situation. Every situation is different, your customers and their demand still exist, is there another way to get to them? Are there potential new customers and markets? Can you adapt what you supply? I regret we’ve left Europe, in my view it was wrong. But that‘s history now, my point is do we either deal with the hand we’re played or just give up. Giving up isn’t the option.
They've already gone bust, they just don't even know it yet (or the business owners have not made it public knowledge yet).This government need to find solutions, to get square pegs for round holes pretty damned quickly, otherwise businesses will go bust

2021 is going to be the year for off-loading assets related to UK-EU trade, then they will get sold to the EU (which will outgrow us), and the EU businesses will then use them to beat us further into the ground.
We're going to get stabbed by our own sword, that we handed over, or ran over by our own fishing boats in this case.
Unfortunately, giving up has to be an option for some small businesses. Do you think you could run a small to medium-size seafood business where the majority of their business was with the EU? DEFRA telling them to look to the US and Canada does not cut it - far too expensive to ship there; it would need to be air-freighted and it's not like they don't have their own seafood businesses. You can extrapolate that to all sorts of other small businesses.Giving up isn’t the option.
Don’t be sorry about my ill thought out nonsense, you are clearly far more informed than me, what would you do?On what possible basis do you reach that conclusion? Any evidence to support it? The industry has been decimated. Completely and utterly destroyed.
Again, this fundamentally misunderstands the position. The demand very much has gone because we no longer comply with our biggest trading partner's requirements which has directly resulted in exports almost drying up to zero. That 'demand' is now being satisfied by those providers that do meet the requirements of the EU leaving UK businesses in the cold. No amount of stiff upper lip is going to fix that problem.
So, which ones then. Talk us through that one. We have closed the door on exporting these perishable goods to the countries that are closest to us so which other countries do you think we can now supply to competitively taking into account the huge costs of transporting to further afield and in the context of the trade deals we have struck with those countries.
Another gem. You think that (a) it is going to be easy and timely to transition from one form of fishing to another, (b) these businesses have the funds to invest in that sort of transition and (c) the rest of the fishing industry isn't suffering a very similar fate?
I'm sorry to keep doing this but I am so sick of reading this sort of ill thought out nonsense.
There were good reasons other than racism/xenophobia to vote for Brexit
Don’t be sorry about my ill thought out nonsense, you are clearly far more informed than me, what would you do?
People might individually claim immigration wasn't the or even a reason they voted for Brexit and that should be accepted by Remainers.
Statistically, at the time, however

I‘m not arguing they stiff upper lip it, where did I say that? That’s a rhetorical question btw because I can’t be ar5ed with a pointless circular internet argument based on your misinterpretation of what I may or may not have said.No there weren't. 5 years later and I am still yet to read or head a single argument that holds up under the slightest scrutiny.
That's precisely my point. There is very little that these businesses can do and arguing that they can stiff upper lip their way out of it is just b***ks.
From the article; EU diktat, Brussels Bureaucrats, EU being obstructive.Friend sent me this the other day. He works for the company.
Export ban Brexit blow for town's oyster industry
A Kent town's world famous oyster export industry could be on the rocks if a post-Brexit row is not swiftly resolved.www.kentonline.co.uk

The article that Centralscrutiniser posted is very interesting and seems to say there’s a lot more to this than what’s reported. If there’s outright no ban does that mean there’s room for some negotiation. In 30 years of running my business there were some desolate times, you’ll be too young to remember how desperate things seemed in 2008 for example. Giving up never felt like an option And I’m glad we didn’t.
