Ice Supply
BTA Ice Plant
BTA supply ice to the fishing boats, to the market and to the fish buyers. Ice is critical to maintain the quality of fish on board every fishing vessel and also to keep the temperature constant when the catch is landed en route to being sold.
Our ice plant is managed and operated by Phil Allen who has over 30 years experience of supplying ice to the fleet of boats using Brixham Fish Market.
Ice is available from 5pm on a Sunday right through until 3.30pm on a Friday, on a 24 hours a day basis. Any trawlers that need ice on a weekend morning can book this service in advance by contacting phil@bxta.co.uk.
Self Sufficient Ice Production
Brixham Fish Market is self sufficient in ice production with a recent £800,000 investment in a new ice plant that supplies ice directly to the boats. The main plant can produce up to 36 tons daily. Using our other flake ice makers up to 46 tons of ice is available for delivery within a 24-hour period from all sources.Ice Making Plants
BTA also have 3 smaller ice making plants that provide ice solely for the fish market. These ensure the quality of fish is maintained right from when it is unloaded from the fishing vessels, all the way through until it is sold and made ready for delivery.
