Ahead of the General Election, 5 live has been visiting Grimsby: the town famous for its fishing industry.

It is now a key marginal Labour seat, held by Labour鈥檚 Austin Mitchell since 1977.

In recent years, factory closures and job losses have caused some decline in the area, but the growth of fish processing plants has helped the industry fight back.

Chris Sparkes, managing director of Jaines & Son seafood, told 5 live鈥檚 Nick Garnett: 鈥淚t鈥檚 the epicentre of seafood in the UK still鈥� We鈥檙e still alive, we鈥檙e still kicking.鈥�

This clip is part of 5 live鈥檚 General Election coverage, first broadcast on Breakfast on Tuesday 7 April 2015.
