Several Twitter users responded and welcomed the idea.
One person said: "I would love to see the fresh shellfish in the supermarkets & local open markets etc. at reasonable prices."
Another user wrote: "Excellent John, time to show EU bullies the door. Vote with our wallets, Boycott EU produce.
A third asked leading supermarkets: "@sainsburys @Morrisons @asda @Tesco Please advise if you can support our #fishing industry? #BuyBritish."
