I don't see how it's seizing their property. If the boat is UK registered it surely can still catch fish after the 1st of January, only it can only land fish in the UK (if that's how it works), they still catch x amount of fish, only difference is it can only be sold in a UK fish auction market before it can be exported. Yes, they will put punitive tariff on seafood, but end of day it's about economic numbers, if import seafood becomes expensive, i can't see EU caught seafood being sold at the "same" price as they are now, it's human nature to be greedy, so ppl will up their prices just below the UK prices, that's if those types of seafood are as readily available in the EU shores as they are in the UK shores. For those types there are only small fishery in the EU, their only choices are either go without or put up with the higher price. With the smaller uk market seafood might be become cheaper as less competition for them with the smaller fishing fleet that we have or/and less demand on the fishery and gives them a better chance to recover. Might not be a bad thing in he shorter terms, unless you are a fisherman.

Thanks guys never seen a shad before let alone caught one !

Whatever quota it will be, if the boat is British registered, it will have the rights to land fish. Unless the government can make catches made in UK waters can only be landed in the UK.
