Peterhead Fish Market is a specialist first-sale seafood market within the port on Scotland's north-east coast. Its practical value to wholesalers, processors and importers lies in the concentration of fresh supplies and the opportunity to compare different lots within one purchasing session. The market operates within a working port, so landing arrangements and collection logistics matter alongside bidding. The Harbour Office address is a port-management contact point; a refrigerated vehicle's actual collection position should be agreed with market staff.

The selling system changed during 2026. On 20 October the operator announced completion of the electronic auction rollout, with four auction clocks and support for remote participation. This is an operating system rather than a future project. A prospective buyer should establish how to obtain an account, qualify to bid and settle purchases. Being able to read a public price report does not itself confer trading access or confirm an available credit limit.

The report for 27 October 2026 records 24,368 kg of fish. This is one session's quantity and should not be multiplied into an annual estimate. Its rows distinguish species codes, presentation and grade, then report boxes, kilograms and minimum, maximum and average prices. Examples include cod, haddock, saithe, hake, anglerfish, herring and mackerel. The mix varies between sessions, so a species appearing in that report is not a promise of daily availability.

Public prices are reached through the landings page. The operator warns of update delays, making the document's date and timestamp more useful than a heading referring to today's prices. The inspected PDF header does not explicitly identify the monetary unit. Confirm currency and price basis before using a number in a purchase calculation. An overall session average combines species and grades and therefore cannot be treated as the benchmark for an arbitrary consignment.

A useful enquiry specifies species, required presentation, size grade, net weight and collection time. Sellers should prepare vessel and lot identification, origin documentation and sorting information, and agree how goods will be handed over. When comparing offers, calculate commission, packaging and refrigerated transport separately. A low auction price may cease to be attractive after distant collection or additional processing. Remote access makes bidding easier, but the buyer still needs an agreed quality inspection and a workable physical collection plan.
