The remaining assets of Plymouth’s fish market have gone up for auction as fish merchants say hopes of reviving it appear to be over.
Plymouth Trawler Agents (PTA), which ran the market for 30 years, ceased trading in May last year, and no other operator has come forward.
A feasibility study in April found the reinstatement for fish auctions at the market would be “unviable” without significant investment.
Rob Goodacre, from the Plymouth Fishing and Seafood Association, which was working to come up with a plan for the future, said the auction marked the end of the fish market “as we know it”.
