East Riding Council in Bridlington Lobster Research

A project to promote Bridlington Bay Lobster is investing in research into the best way to freeze the crustaceans.

300 tonnes of lobster worth more than £4 million was brought to shore in Bridlington in 2019 but much of it is exported.

The East Riding Council is part of an initiative to get more local restaurants to use the local product.

To make that happen Director of Economic Development, Claire Watts, says they need better ways of freezing the food:

Research is being undertaken in to the best way to freeze Bridlington's lobster catch.

East Riding Council want to make the product more accessible and affordable.

Claire added:

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
