VIDEO: Record landing at north-east fish market as trawlers take in £1million haul

Fishermen in the north-east are celebrating a record haul, with more than 320,000 kilos being caught.

The landing has been valued at around £1million and is the largest ever in the history of Peterhead Fish Market.

Local Stephen Bruce, 55, took a video of the stunning catch after realising more than 8,000 boxes of fish had been taken in – the most since the market opened in 1998.

He shared the video on Facebook and it has since attracted more than 10,000 views on the social media site.

Stephen says he has had interest all over the world and a teacher from Tennessee even asked to show the video to her class.

The market is currently enjoying a successful period after setting a record in November for the second successive month for number of boxes handled.
