  • >> My name's Emma Moffat; I'm a fish buyer for a company called Icelandic Seachill.

  • >> I'm Ben Bengey; I'm a commercial fishermen. I grew up in north Devon.

  • >> My name is James Ritchie.

  • >> And I'm Bonnie Ritchie - I'm his wife and we own Simpson's Fish and Chips in Cheltenham.

  • >> My name is George Hooper; I'm 19 years old and I run a fishmongers in Bedfordshire.

  • >> We came out of art school and didn't really have anything to do. We got married and my

  • mum and dad said: "We're opening a fish and chip shop, would you guys want to run it?"

  • >> With Bonnie's family in fish and chips for 40 years it just felt like a natural progression for us.

  • >> When I started in the seafood industry it was quite a young age. I was about 13 or

  • 14 when I really got involved and now I'm 19 and opening my own shop.

  • >> The fish industry is vibrant; it's growing and there's opportunities to do almost every

  • role that you could think of.

  • >> You need accountants for it; you need marketing, you need PR, you need design; you need everything!

  • It's not just fish and chips - it's a huge variety.

  • >> I left school with a few GCSEs; I always wanted to be out on the sea 'cos that's what

  • I loved since I was a young lad. I started working with my dad then I bought my own boat

  • at the age of 13.

  • >> There are people that are 'on the coal face' - on the boats, getting the fish out

  • of the sea, gutting them and getting them into the harbours; but also there's people

  • like me who are working generally in an office.

  • >> You've got to learn about the different species of fish to start off with. That always

  • helps and then from there you just learn about all the different areas from catching to processing.

  • >> The seafood industry is quite niche; it's quite specialist; and as a result of that

  • the salaries can be quite generous - and you can start from the bottom on the factory floor

  • and work your way up.

  • >> When I started when I was 15, I was on £70 a day. As your skill base progresses on -

  • - it gets better and better.

  • >> I think for young people it's just about encouraging them and letting them know that

  • there's so many different aspects to the industry. We've watched people mature in the shop. If

  • they've come to us young and they've been there a few years we've really seen them build

  • up confidence at the shop.

  • >> We need to start getting youngsters into the industry or it will just be a dying industry.

  • You'll often see me on my phone snap-chatting away with people shooting strings over the

  • side. You've got to be up with social media; it will help sell your product.

  • >> My favourite fish is john dory; it's a lovely looking fish. And I'm also partial

  • to red snapper!

  • >> The job that I've got now - and the world that I live in now - is something that's totally

  • different and something that I actually really enjoy. I never in a million years thought

  • that me - from a tiny little village in the north west of England - would be travelling

  • the world; meeting people from all over the world, and being lucky enough to do that as part of my job.

  • >> I think it is a cool place to be in again; I think 15 years ago it wasn't.
