Fishing
Fishing
is a very important part of the economy of the Western Isles. The main
ports are Stornoway, Scalpay, and Barra, with many small boats also working
from Grimsay and Harris. White fish, prawns, shellfish and crustacea are
the main prey. Barra is also famous for its excellent cockles and razor
fish. Fresh local sea food is available throughout the islands.
