MareScot
World Wide Suppliers of Live Shellfish
Who We Are
The Islands on the West Coast of Scotland where we operate from are renowned worldwide for their wonderful clean, clear waters and breathtaking scenery.
Our fleet of boats depart each morning around 5am, lifting their strings of prawn pots returning late afternoon. To ensure the high standard of freshness and quality is maintained, the Langoustine is tubed by the fishermen on board and is immediately put into a salt water spray system, until it is collected and transferred to our main depot.
Our fleet of boats, which have been supplying us for many years, work closely with us on many new innovations which improve catching, storing and holding the live product.
The work carried out between fishermen, MareScot and our Clients continues to develop new and improved methods of sustaining the life of our product, ensuring optimum quality for the consumer.
What We Do
The process begins with the fishermen delivering their product at their home port on a daily basis to MareScot personnel, who then transport the live langoustine in refrigerated vehicles to our main depot in Broadford, ensuring fine quality and freshness.
The drivers are then met by the on-duty tanks personnel who weigh the live langoustine and then transfer it to our modern live holding tanks. Each evening our packing team sort and box the langoustine ready for transportation by refrigerated lorry to various airports. Our product is then received by our clients in Spain and throughout Europe the following day.
With years of experience and dedication MareScot team is proud of his profound knowledge of the business of International distribution of live shellfish, by airfreight and Vivier truck.
Our fleet of vehicles on the Isle of Skye consists of a vast amount of refrigerated vans and refrigerated trucks,along with the same on the Isle of Harris and North Uist.
Each week we send a Vivier lorry from Skye to Spain with an extensive range of live shellfish including Langoustine, Brown Crab, Velvet Crab, Lobster, Crawfish, Razorfish, Palourdes, Cockles, Scallops and many more.
Our boats sometimes have to battle through some of the worst weather coming straight in off the Atlantic.
