Episode 3: The Million Pound Catch
October 18, 2022 • 59 min
Scalloper Golden Promise battles force-6 winds to reach newly opened scallop beds before rivals, hoping for a big payday—after covering £8,000 in fuel. Family-run trawler Adenia departs Lerwick to land 1,000 tonnes of mackerel in Norway within three days. Skipper George Anderson, with 11 crew (eight family), aims to sell to the high-value Asian sushi market, potentially earning £1 million. Meanwhile, skipper Ivan Toms and son Rhys work Maxine’s Pride, one of the UK’s oldest, smallest trawlers. Struggling to maintain their 35-year-old boat, they fish Cornwall’s inshore waters, hoping to earn enough for wages and vital repairs.
