From the 1950S to the present day<\/span><\/h4>\n

The company first began when John King started fishing for lobsters on his sailing boat in<\/span> the 1950s. <\/span>Charged with his knowledge of the seas, its species and specialist<\/span> fishing techniques John King<\/span> branched out and began fishing for scallops. <\/span>His passion for fishing, scallops and the local community helped build WCSP, and the company soon began exporting Scallops across Europe. Kirkcudbright to this day is one of the busiest Scallop fishing ports in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

John King was joined by his son also named John King who, following a successful career at sea, took the helm when his father retired. John was joined by his wife Jackie and subsequently his three children, making West Coast Sea Products a family business of three generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was in 2020 that John\u2019s daughter Alice joined the company, and with her came a new vision of providing locally sourced Scottish Seafood to the local community. <\/span>Thereafter, WCSP launched two mobile fishmonger vans – providing Scottish seafood to remote areas across Dumfries and Galloway,\u00a0<\/span>Skippers Scran Van – serving fresh takeaway seafood dishes, Skipper\u2019s Fishmonger – which opened in Kirkcudbright in October 2024, and now Swally n\u2019 Scran our sit in seafood restaurant located next to the harbour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Safe to say the business has grown and developed remarkably since the 1950s. From one man and his lobster boat, to a fleet of vessels, 40 fishermen, over 100 factory staff,<\/span> a local Fishmonger shop and Restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n
