Paul is a lifelong fisherman in the sleepy village of Ardglass, County Down. His battered old trawler boat makes it hard to attract crew. Barely able to pay the household bills, skipper Paul yearns for a different life, a life in which he 'could have been a chef'. When two enthusiastic workers arrive from Delhi, and his 16-year-old son decides to lend a hand, things begin to look up. Paul decides to take a big gamble and switch the machinery on his boat from prawns to scallops. But they are up against time. The scallop season opens in a few weeks, and his inexperienced crew are unfamiliar with the new, dangerous equipment. The Fishing Trip is an intimate tale of a passionate skipper and his wife, elder brother, children and crew - who are very much all in the same boat, risking everything in a dangerous job for the promise of a better future.
