SCOTS fishermen have lodged a protest with Boris Johnson saying they are forced to sail an extra 48 hours to Denmark, to sell their fish because of Brexit.

Up to 40% of fish sold at an auction in Denmark so far in 2021 have come from Scottish boats, according to a one Nordic logistics industry leading figure.

The move confirmed by the Scottish Fishermen's Federation comes as prices in the UK have collapsed in the aftermath of Brexit.

They claim their catch can fetch twice as much as in this country.

The SFF has confirmed that some are doing this as it is the "only way" to guaranteed their catch will make a fair price.

It has lodged a protest with the Prime Minister over the situation.

SFF chief executive Elspeth Macdonald has today written to the Prime Minister voicing the industry's anger over the mounting financial losses faced by vessels on top of the "desperately poor" Brexit fisheries deal.
