A 282kg Bluefin Tuna has set a new PORT RECORD in Brixham! 🎣🎉
Landed over the weekend by the vessel Mizpah, this incredible fish was caught using rod and line and is the biggest ever line-caught tuna to be landed in Brixham (so far!).
This morning, the fish was sold to Flying Fish Seafoods through our online auction, whose customers include many Michelin-starred restaurants around the country.
An exceptional catch and a new piece of Brixham fishing history 🙌
