Plans for a £75 million 50-tank salmon farm are to be put to the public as Grimsby’s seafood industry looks towards a highly sustainable sourcing solution.
An onshore aquaculture farm has been proposed for New Clee, on former rail sidings site on the edge of the Grimsby port estate. It has been put forward by Aquacultured Seafood Ltd subsidiary, ASL New Clee Ltd, with 100 jobs set to be created.
The 40,000 sq m development is seen as presenting the town with the opportunity to process local fish at scale for the first time in decades, creating scores of jobs. Strong backing from the industry has been received.
