Our 'friends' across the Channel have systematically killed off our fishing resources until they are in danger of becoming as extinct as those in the Med and other waters.
Whilst our own fishermen are rebuilding their abilities, our fish stocks will have the time to restore their numbers.
After that, we can fish in a controlled way to preserve our fisheries. If we should catch more fish than we need ourselves, the surplus can be sold to other countries.
In short, we should not permit any other country to fish in our waters.
Leave the EU with no deal.
EDIT:
Please examine this chart showing fish types and numbers assigned to UK and EU each of the following five years.

I agree with all you say about our friends across the ditch but l don't
think it is advisable to just cut off their access in one fell swoop
although this may be justified, as that would cause un-necassary
friction. !! Apparently we are now in charge of arranging all fishing?
regulations etc so we could start with a reduction in overall quota's
( based on scientific data of course!) to allow fish stocks to recover,
and at the same time set up an office for the issuing of the new UK
Quota/permit system ? If we are in charge we must be seen to be !!

If the overall quotas are significantly smaller then it won't be economical for the super trawlers to fish anyway. This means more fish for smaller boats.
Until I can find somewhere that states the total quotas and that they are based on science and zonal attachment instead of the theoretical total number of fish that were in our waters in 1974 (the CFP quota allocation) I'll keep an open mind.

Anyway, I have copied the important figures (1926 onward) here:

What are you on about ?

Cod = 57.00%
Haddock = 84.17%
Plaice = 28.46%
It seems that EU countries like Plaice more than we do!
