But the main reason Harrods employs more people than the fishing industry is that the other fishing employees are in the EU.

The aim isn't to completely shut out EU fishing boats, but to have UK control over who is or isn't allowed to fish in our waters. The UK fishing industry isn't big enough to pick up the slack, if EU boats were completely banned.

If the EU imposed tariffs on fish caught by UK boats and sold in the EU, wouldn't the UK have to impose some sort of tariffs on EU boats catching fish in UK waters, but selling them in the EU? Otherwise the EU boats would have an unfair advantage, as they would be tariff free.
