In support of the Fishermen's mission and now in its 15th year, Brixham Fish Market Tours are back and still proving to be very popular. Early risers won’t want to miss the opportunity to get a fascinating behind-the-scenes insight into operations at England’s largest fish market, led by the Brixham Trawler Agents (BTA).

You will witness the operational side of the daily fish auction process, and have the opportunity to see up to 40 different species of fish. You will gain an understanding of what’s involved in getting the fish from sea to plate, learn about day boats & trawlers, and there may even be a chance to see some grey seals which often frequent the harbour side!

To finish off the morning, you will experience a delicious fish breakfast at Mitch Tonks’ Rockfish restaurant, situated right next door. Breakfast consists of eggs, scallop, local fish, smoked haddock, toast, bacon, teas and coffee.

The tours are very popular and with only 20 people on each session, we recommend that you book well in advance. All profits raised from these tours go to the great work the Fishermen's Mission do.

The tour kicks off at 6:15am on the quay, your email confirmation will include all the information you need for your tour.
