Meet the latest fishing vessel to join the fleet. Ted of Ladram was built by the skilled team at Parkol Marine Engineering Ltd in Whitby.

At Greendale, we have been working to modernise our fleet, and in the past six years we have commissioned five new fishing vessels. The Nichola of Ladram, a Crabber, built in 2019; the Georgina of Ladram, a Beam Trawler, built in 2020; the Amanda of Ladram, an Offshore Netter, built in 2021, the Winter of Ladram, a craber built in 2022 and the Ted of Ladram, a Whelker, built in 2025.

The sea is a challenging and exciting working environment, worlds away from a ‘normal’ 9-5 desk job – tides, weather, seasons and the fish themselves ensure that no two days are ever the same.

Greendale has been a proud supporter of the brilliant environmental project, Fishing for Litter (FFL), providing donations and carrying out fundraising activities. Our fishing vessels have carried Fishing For Litter bags, helping to remove rubbish from the ocean on a daily basis and bringing it back to land to be recycled or disposed of properly.

We are proud supporters of the Fishermen’s Mission, the only UK fishermen's charity to provide emergency support alongside practical, financial, spiritual and emotional care. With a fishing fleet of over 20 vessels and 120 seagoing fishermen, we know how important it is to look after the wellbeing of our crews and their families.

The Greendale fishing fleet is more than just a collection of boats; it’s a symbol of our dedication to fishing and our local community. And, just as each boat serves a unique purpose, so each one of them also has a name that tells its own story.

The picturesque ports of Brixham and Newlyn are more than just charming coastal towns—they're the twin beating hearts of the Devon and Cornwall fishing industry, providing jobs on-shore and off and boosting the regional economy. Both ports play a crucial role in supporting Greendale's commitment to providing fresh, sustainably sourced seafood.

We hate waste! We try to ensure our fish reaches customers in as fresh a state as possible, either from our fish counter or online (fresh fish is delivered via an overnight service). The Greendale fishmongers are skilled at keeping waste to a minimum, and ensure that quality fish is never discarded unnecessarily. Learn how we do it.

Two fishermen brothers from Exeter are celebrating as one of their boats landed the biggest grossing catch in the history of Brixham port. The huge catch of 7.5 tonnes of valuable Dover Sole was sold at Brixham Fish auction for £125,630.
