Commenting after challenging Alex Salmond at First Minister's Questions to respond to the crisis-hit Scottish fishing industry, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott MSP said:
"The First Minister's answer to me today about the crisis in fishing was delusional.
"He represents the North East of Scotland - an area dependent on fishing.
"The First Minister is out of touch with what's happening to Scotland's fishing industry, which faces the worst economic crisis in fifteen years.
"He said the only issue of concern was the price of prawns. What planet is he on?
"The First Ministers should immediately meet all fishing leaders across the country who are telling him the industry is in crisis because the SNP signed up to the wrong deal in Europe.
"There is a month to change these disastrous rules. Alex Salmond has got to realise how serious the situation is and take action."
