The great metropolitan areas of Europe and North America inevitably pull in some of the best seafood caught around their respective coastlines. This makes them great places to eat fresh seafood, especially given modern standards of transport and refrigeration. London’s famous Billingsgate Fish Market has been operating since the sixteenth century (with its origins as a general market stretching back even further), casting its net as wide as Scotland’s tempestuous seas and Cornwall’s rocky coves. London’s great seafood restaurants source directly from the country’s other fantastic markets and suppliers too, Peterhead’s vast fish market in Aberdeenshire or Brixham in Devon, for example.
