Tour Scotland Photograph Lobster Shop Crail East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of the Lobster Shop in Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The earliest records of lobster fishing in Scotland date back to the 12th century when lobster was caught by hand using ‘crooks’ and hoop nets. With the development of baited traps, exploitation on a more commercial basis was developed, and today creel fishing for the European lobster, Homarus gammarus, supports very important local fisheries around the Scottish coast
