Fathom: getting below the surface of the UK fishing industry.
There is so much more to fishing than just catching fish. Through real conversations with real fishermen, fishing experts and the people who write the rules, we'll help you navigate complex fishing regulations, be more safety-aware, keep up to date on market trends and much more. We'll also be scouring the UK coast for amazing stories from fishing families - connecting you to harbours, boats, and people, around the country. Fathom is brought to you by the Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation and funded by The Seafarers' Charity.

Episode 6
In response to Covid-19 and its immediate impact on the fishing industry, Paul and Chris discuss the following topics:
- The current state of the market in the south west
- The emergency #FishtoYourDoor initiative set up by Seafood Cornwall to provide a matchmaking service to customers in isolation who want fresh fish delivered to their door with fish merchants and fishmongers who can provide a delivery service. The customer gets Cornish fish on demand, and supports local fishermen - everyone wins! Email info@seafoodcornwall.org.uk if you are interested.
- Buying and selling of first sale fish. Want to know how to do it? Check the poster on how you can sell direct the right way!
- Support for fishermen who are struggling financially and with their mental health
