A row is brewing at Plymouth Fish Market. A gentleman's agreement on the priority sale of fish catches landed by coastal fleets is being eroded in favour of the larger long-distance trawlers that land significantly larger catches and need to be sold and shipped early. The prices often undercut the local fishermen's. Reporter David Mudd catches up with the protagonists, auctioneer, government official Mr Matthews and local trawlermen.
