That would be illegal under EU law.
One of the things that would stop that happening is that the politicians who decide UK fishing policy would be held accountable by the UK electorate - something that currently doesn't happen with the EU.

Member states remain responsible for allocating quotas; i believe this is the justification for the cronyism of how the uk gov screws locals and sucks up to the corps. If, as you say, the way we have allocated our quotas, is illegal, that is a big red mark against our government (but also red mark to the EU for not acting on it).
Much of our crony privitisation is blamed on EU law... But no other EU nations seem to interpret the EU laws the way the UK does.
