Which Belgian ports support fishing in the North Sea?

The primary Belgian ports that support fishing in the North Sea are Zeebrugge and Ostend.1

These ports serve as the base for a modest fleet of trawlers that operate within the North Sea fishing grounds. While Belgium's fishing industry is relatively small and primarily focused on domestic consumption, these locations remain central to the activity. Ostend, in particular, is noted for its historical and ongoing role as an important fishing port, with specialized infrastructure such as the Vismijn (fish market) and industries dedicated to fish curing and oyster culture.12
