I noticed in the last paragraph Mr Howe capitulates with the usual compromising talk about dealing with the world as it is. But as I've already stated any compromise just leads to Remain.
I have a few friends and customers in the fishing industry and contribute to a couple of industry forums.

I actually think we should be responsible with fishing. Investing in a fishing boat is a huge long term deal.

Taking back control fine, completely shutting out foreign vessels is too far in my opinion.

We can extend our coastal limit, we can reduce the quota for overseas vessels and perhaps make it conditional on landing at a UK port which ensures the UK can monitor the vessels more effectively, as well as gain from the processing and distribution.

In return, as part of that deal, we have the market open to the EU for fish exports.

That is at least how I would play it and I think most fishermen would be happy with that.
