According to Jonathan Couch the first seine was established in Polperro in 1782 and
in 1783 the first export of pilchards was made. In the early C20 2 Italians known as
the Teglio Brothers settled in Polperro to export pilchards to Italy. They leased
the fish store directly below Pallace Court, later known as L'Teglio's Fish Cellar.
