Newlyn harbour is one of the largest fishing ports in Britain in terms of value of fish sold, and is a major centre for distribution of high value fish and shell-fish to the Continent.

Fishing is undertaken by a mix of locally-based beamers, side trawlers and static gear boats.

The Harbour is owned and managed by the Newlyn Pier and Harbour Commission. Newlyn harbour has been designated as a harbour of refuge and the RNLI Penlee lifeboat is based at Newlyn.

There are a number of Wholesale Fish Merchants based in Newlyn. Listings are available under:-

Some Fish Merchants also supply fish through their own retail outlets, by telephone, post or e-mail order.
