A YOUNG fisherman from Mallaig who is passionate about the industry has been shortlisted for a prestigious award.
Aaron McLean, 20, is in the running for young fisherman of the year in the Fishing News awards, which are the UK’s only fishing industry awards.
A spokesperson from the awards said: ‘From a young age Aaron has been passionate about fishing, taking every opportunity to get out to sea as soon as he was old enough. He has proven his ability to skipper his father’s boat, the Caralisa OB956, and shown commitment to what could be seen as a declining industry on the West Coast.
