FAQs on pelagic fishing

The Scottish Pelagic Processors Association (known before January 2012 as the Herring Buyers Association) is a trade association which represents all the major Scottish Pelagic Processors:  Caley Fisheries, Croan Seafoods, Denholm Seafoods, Fresh Catch, and International Fish Canners, Lunar Freezing, Macrae, Nor Sea Foods, Shetland Catch, Shetland Fish Products, and United Fish Industries.  These companies supply a wide range of products, from smoked and canned fish to UK retailers, wholesalers and fishmongers, to block frozen bulk packs supplied via reefers to major export customers. 

 

The Association was established in 1976 following the set up of Producer Organisations, with the aim of supporting and representing buyers and processors of pelagic species.


The SPPA is a voluntary association, financed by an annual levy paid by its members.
