Fishmongers & fishermen aprons

The use of waxed aprons in the fish trade has become essential for fish processing, preparation and scaling, as well as for use in cleaning and all tasks that take place in a wet environment. Picksea, the specialist supplier of clothing for the seafood industry, offers a wide selection of waxed aprons from various well-known and reputable manufacturers in France and Europe

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE FISHMONGER'S APRON

In the fishmonger's trade, one often works in a humid environment and in contact with water. It is therefore necessary to have professional protective clothing adapted to these activities such as the waxed apron. This apron is put on top of the other clothes that the fishmonger, the fishmonger or the fisherman is used to wear fleece jacket or vareusewaxed jacket, trousers or waterproof overalls or even boots

Professional clothing the plastic fishmonger's apron is the best way to protect the body and legs from wet contact. However, it is necessary to complete this equipment with anti-cut gloves and/or waterproof cuffs as well as professional boots with non-slip soles. In these jobs involving fish, it is also necessary to protect oneself from the cold: gloves, oilskins or jackets, or even gloves and boots with non-slip soles jackets or jackets of oilskins or fleeces as well as warm socks will provide comfort at work

THE DIFFERENT MODELS OF APRONS

There are mainly two models of fishmonger's apron: those with a tie that goes behind the neck or those whose straps are crossed in the back. This last model, often a little more expensive, is more comfortable to wear because it allows especially to reduce the support of the apron on the neck. Some models are shorter or on the contrary very long going down largely under boots for an optimal protection.

What really makes the difference between the models and brands of fishmonger's aprons is the thickness of the waxed fabric which exists in one, two or even three layers of PVC coating, making the aprons particularly resistant to abrasion and cuts

Finally, aprons are available in several colours, the blue and white models being the most common but Picksea also offers them in yellow or orange.
