THIS POLL IS NOW CLOSED. SEE THE RESULTS HERE. UK exporters of live shellfish including, mussels, oysters, clams, scallops and cockles have hit a brick wall in recent weeks as new rules mean

their products can no longer be sent across the Channel. The EU has told Britain it is indefinitely banned from selling the shellfish to its member states, causing uproar among fishermen.

Mr Johnson is considering a range of ways to retaliate against the EU, insiders have indicated, including possible restrictions on imports of seed potatoes and mineral water. Brexiteer

Martin Daubney went one step further by suggesting the PM could take more decisive action by imposing an all-out ban on European trawlers in UK seas. The former Brexit Party MEP tweeted:

"The way to make the EU see sense on their shellfish blockade is simple: block EU vessels taking shellfish from British waters until they change their minds." Government ministers

have reportedly drawn up plans on how to hit back at the bloc over the disruption in trade. The measures dubbed "Water Wars" could see the UK scrap several continuity arrangements

it has signed with the EU. Since the UK's Brexit transition period ended on December 31, British firms have been restricted on what they can sell to Europe. Only pre-purified,

ready-to-eat shellfish is allowed to pass through ports en route to the 27-member bloc. Like all food products, the shellfish must be accompanied by an export health certificate. READ MROE: 

EU SUPERSTATE FEARS: EUROZONE MUST BECOME ‘SINGLE STATE’ TO SAVE EURO This creates significant problems for British fishermen as the majority of UK waters are not deemed to be "class

A". Mr Daubney's call for EU fishing boats to be banned from entering British waters was backed by Brexit supporters on social media. One said: "The answer is stop all fishing

in British waters, and in that way if they want shellfish they are going to have to buy it from us. "It's time we stopped pussyfooting around the EU. "Northern Ireland is in

a mess through no fault of their own, our fishing fleet etc have been let down." A second person said it was high time Mr Johnson took strong action against the EU. They wrote: "He

shouldn’t be hesitant, he should just do it right now and provide direct support to our fishermen. "The French and Spanish will soon be screaming at the crooked EU to fix it!"

Others said a ban on imports of French wine would do the trick while another said the Europeans should have to pay high charges to fish in UK waters.
