The scallop war escalates.

Britain said it had summoned France's ambassador in an escalating row over post-Brexit fishing rights.

"We regret the confrontational language that has been consistently used by the French government on this issue," said a statement from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's office.

It added: "As a next step, the Foreign Secretary has instructed Minister Morton to summon the French ambassador."

Britain earlier denounced France's seizure of a British boat in French waters and warned Paris against further retaliation.

The Cornelis-Gert Jan's skipper is under preliminary investigation for dredging 2,160kg of scallops and could face a €75,000.
Its owners said the vessel had a fishing licence and had been fishing legally.

A PETROL bomb has allegedly been thrown at a Scottish fishing vessel by French rivals as the battle over scallops continues to heat up in the English Channel – prompting calls for the British Navy to be drafted in.​

Apparently it had been expired for a few days. According to a mutter I heard from the French side of the story.
