Fishing looks more like the length of the transition period, enabling all to adapt.
In terms of how the UK will regulate itself post-Brexit, I don't see the UK going down the light-touch regulation route. I don't think it's imposing on the UK's sovereignty if a mechanism is set up that ended a free trade deal if the UK or EU did introduce legislation that made either a significant light-regulatory touch competitor. A free trade agreement is a privilege between two trading blocs or countries, it's not a right and surely such deals are always reviewed anyway.
I believe a deal will be struck.

I and everybody else on the planet, must have missed when this opportunity to negotiate new terms for EU membership happened.
Prior to the Lisbon Treaty there wasn't any mechanism for leaving the EU.
The EU isn't suggesting future renegotiation on fishing and level playing field, just that we have to do as France and Germany say.
