This section looks at warm water and reef fish, often referred to in the seafood industry as ‘exotics’. These are fish predominantly found in tropical waters of the world.
Warmwater or “exotic” fish are often flown into the UK daily. Even fish from as far away as Australia are often in the UK within 36 hours of catch.
Some of the species featured here – including Sea Bream and Red Mullet – are also native to temperate waters and can be found around the southerly coasts of the UK in spring and summer.
