EAST NEUK TRAGEDIES
THE REAL COST OF FISH
In Modern society I, and I am sure many of you who are reading this, take so many things for granted. We arrive home from work in our cars, to a nice warm house and sit down to dinner. On occasions we will enjoy a nice piece of fish, bought from the local fishmonger or perhaps the supermarket. I wonder just how many of us give a thought, to how much that fish really costs.
The following are the names of those brave souls who lost their lives in tragic circumstances, whilst following their Occupation. The loss of these fishermen, caused great distress to many families in the East Fife coast town of Cellardyke.
