Regarding fishing, it makes up less than 0.5% of the country's GDP so in terms of importance other industries are far more important to the country no matter how many times you borrow Diane Abbott's magic calculator! Put it another way, there's about 11,000 people employed in the UK fishing industry compared to 856,000 in the wider automotive sector. Leaving the EU is a threat to this important industry and our tax base as once jobs leave, they don't tend to come back. Greg Clark seems to be belatedly waking up to the facts.
So, the fishermen don't count, then?

That was just one small example, of course, but your response to the plight of these people was interesting. And just a little disturbing.

I know, old chap. But your response was well worth commenting on!
