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.
