"About three-quarters of the seafood landed by UK fishermen is sold to EU countries."

But then the gap between the claims of Brexiters and reality has always been largest when it comes to fishing. The fishing industry has lots of problems, but most are home-grown. It's also very reliant on the EU. (I busted the myth in detail in my book 'Slaying Brexit Unicorns'.)
And it's not just fishing, but seafood processing too. Scotland processes a huge amount of seafood for Norway because (when we were in the EU) it meant Norway could avoid tariffs on the finished product. But if we fail to get the right EU trade deal that advantage will be gone.
