Scotland Minister Colin Clark MP, who also represents Gordon, and Banff and Buchan MP David Duguid toured Peterhead fish market and a processing plant in Fraserburgh to listen to the views of those working in the sector.
The pair met Scottish Fishermen’s Federation outgoing chief executive Bertie Armstrong and his successor Elspeth Macdonald in Peterhead.
