FitzPatrick said the current local supply came from local fishermen and these smaller single operators could not guarantee continuity or size of supply.
He said: The crab fishermen sell the totality of their catch locally on a small scale. But the big stores want a larger, guaranteed supply and to know its supplied according to their standards. Its not that theres a lack of willingness to take local supply, its the fact that we need a larger organisation to pull the smaller parts together
