Tideline Seafood will establish a sustainable fishmonger and prepared seafood counter sourcing exclusively from day-boat fishermen using low-impact methods. The applicant managed seafood procurement for a national restaurant group and holds Marine Stewardship Council supply chain certification. Investment of £135,000 covers refrigerated display units, preparation area, fit-out, and five months of working capital.

Average transaction is £18.60 with 110 daily customers, yielding year-one revenue of £490,776. Tideline will employ 7 full-time staff and 3 part-time workers. Innovation lies in a traceability-first model where every fish sold carries a QR code linking to the specific boat, catch method, and landing port, combined with a zero-bycatch procurement policy not practised by any fishmonger within 10 miles.

Ten positions including a head fishmonger, two prep cooks for the prepared counter, three counter staff, a procurement specialist managing boat relationships, a delivery driver, and three part-time workers. Annual payroll of £194,000.

Annual fish procurement of £196,000 paid directly to 12 day-boat fishermen, providing stable income that supports small-scale fishing communities. Packaging and ice supply of £18,000 from UK suppliers. Prepared seafood supply to 8 local restaurants generates £62,000 in wholesale revenue. Tideline's QR traceability system is developed in partnership with a local tech company, creating one additional tech job. The sustainable sourcing model supports marine conservation by channelling consumer spend toward low-impact fishing. Tax contributions estimated at £16,000.
