More affordable haddock will return to fish counters and chip shops next year as stocks show signs of bouncing back.
But cod will continue to be protected as the species struggles to recover from overfishing.
New quotas will allow a 200 percent increase in landing west coast haddock, a particularly tasty whitefish. Numbers have fluctuated in recent years.
It comes as conservation body WWF analyzed government quotas on managing threatened fish stocks.
Monkfish are to be limited, with a 5% cut in the quota. The one-time delicacy that is already expensive could see a further price hike at the counter.
This comes as nearly 10,000 metric tons of monkfish were landed by the Scottish fleet in Scotland last year.
