UK southwest coast tour 1/2 - Brixham

 






I thought it is a small fishing village next to Berryhead nature reserve, somewhere nice to have a break next to the sea after a short visit to London. Turned out to be heavily populated with many holiday homes. Stayed in the old part with narrow lanes and old renovated fisherman cottages. 
 




 
Still nice to walk around the coast, with a few geological interests and enjoy seafood. 
 



Rockfish restaurant, Brixham

 
Because of it’s good location, sticking out into the English Channel, it has the biggest fish wholesale market in UK except Scotland. Every Wednesday, there is a tour organised by the fish market, led by the Financial director and Head of quality control.
 




 
Impressive to learn that since upgrading to on-line auction 5 years ago, attracting buyers from around the world to bid directly, no my middle man, and a top down bidding system (instead of traditional bidding upwards) sales value increased instantly by 20%. 
 

 
A few warm water species have migrated into the English Channel in recent years, like cuttlefish, giant octopus and bluefin tuna, a sure sign that water temperature had gone up.
