Freshly Caught Great Orme Lobsters at Mermaid Seafoods!
At Mermaid Seafoods, we’re passionate about bringing you the freshest, highest-quality seafood while supporting our local community. Today, we're thrilled to showcase a stunning haul of lobsters from the skilled fishermen aboard the Gwen-Paul-M, who set sail from Conwy Harbour. This week’s catch is truly something special, and we can’t wait to share it with you!
A Magnificent 7-Pound Lobster
One of the highlights of this haul is an impressive 7-pound lobster, held here by local fisherman Jack. Caught sustainably around the Great Orme, this lobster is not just a feast for the eyes, but a testament to the thriving marine life in our local waters. The size and health of this lobster are proof of the rich biodiversity in the area and the careful, sustainable practices of our local fishermen.
We’ve captured some fantastic photos of Carl, Jack, and the rest of the team in action. Watch them skillfully set and retrieve their traps, working in harmony with the sea to bring in the day’s catch. These images not only showcase the hard work that goes into sustainable fishing but also highlight the beautiful North Wales coastline, a vital part of our local identity.
Escape Gaps: Sustainability in Every Trap
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and the same goes for our local fishermen. Each trap used by the crew is equipped with escape gaps, an ingenious feature that allows undersized lobsters and crabs to find their way back to the sea. This simple yet effective design ensures that our marine populations remain healthy and abundant, preserving this vital resource for future generations.
As you browse through the photos, you might recognise several familiar North Wales sites, from the rugged cliffs of the Great Orme to the bustling activity at Conwy Harbour. Our commitment to local sourcing means that when you purchase seafood from Mermaid Seafoods, you’re not just getting a delicious product; you’re also supporting the local economy and helping to preserve the traditional fishing methods that have sustained this region for centuries.
Supporting Local Fishermen
At Mermaid Seafoods, we’re dedicated to supporting our local fishermen. By working closely with them, we help preserve age-old fishing traditions while also contributing to the local economy. These hardworking individuals are the backbone of our seafood supply, and we’re proud to showcase their efforts. In the photos, you’ll see the crew with a fresh catch of cod, another staple of our local waters.
