Langoustine firm fears business will fold over Brexit customs delays
For someone like Jame McMillan, who has fished for langoustines all his life off the west coast of Scotland, and witnessed a spike in global demand for his products, the disruption to Scottish seafood exports is nothing short of catastrophic.
Mr McMillan, who runs Loch Fyne Langoustines and Sea Farms, the price of Brexit is all too clear this week. In fact, he warns it could put him out of business altogether.
At Tarbert harbour yesterday, Mr McMillan was surveying the bounty of fresh produce that had been brought in from sea: large lobsters and hand dived scallops, as well as brown crab and razor clams. Such high-end produce, however, looks unlikely to find a buyer any time soon.
