Interesting story re. Brixham on spotlight just now. Apparently Brixham is booming and has applied for government funding to make the ‘fish quay’ bigger as the current arrangement is too small to handle the amount of fish being landed there.
Brexit eh? 🤷‍♂️
Not quite the reality but, hey ho, don't let it stop you!

“Investment in Brixham’s harbour and fish market would help secure the future of Brixham’s fishing sector which has been badly affected by Brexit and Covid-19."

It really is the reality.
You know your 1st link is three months old?
The spotlight story cited an extra £6 million in post Brexit fishing trade as a result of more boats landing their catch there and the new need to extend the quay as there is no room for that extra trade.
I’m not sure what the relevance of your 2nd link is egg.

The second link states "Brixham’s fish market is currently enjoying a boom in business, with fish landed in ports hundreds of miles away being brought by road to be sold at the online auctions on the quayside.

But, said Mr Spreckley: “Environmentally the fish quay proposal is ridiculous. This will just lead to more fish being trucked in from all over the country to be sold on the market at Brixham, because Brixham fish has a premium value"

I think it just means people are bringing fish from the EU into Britain to sell more expensively.

I asked someone what a kg was.

The answer I got sounded cagey.
