Minister's seafood recipes book

A new recipe booklet promising "mouth-watering dishes" has been produced by ministers to promote Welsh seafood. It also offers advice on choosing fish and sustainable local sources, BBC News reports.

Rural Minister Elin Jones said she believed Welsh produce is among the best in the world. The assembly government said the promotion of Welsh fish and seafood was a key part of its strategy to support the "development of viable and sustainable fisheries".

The Minister said the assembly government "is committed to working closely with major retailers to offer consumers a range of choices in sustainably produced and harvested fish and shellfish".

She said: "I thank the chefs who inspired these recipes and who are tireless advocates of Welsh seafood, which I think is among the best in the world."

Last month it was announced that the Welsh fishing industry will receive more than £930,000 in a series of projects.
