Seafood in Schools at the Royal Highland Show
On Thursday 19th and Friday 20th June, school parties were booked to undertake 40 minute interactive, ‘incredible edibles’ workshops following the journey of trout and haddock from loch and sea to plate. The workshops include a ‘fun facts and figures’ briefing, a tasting session, and a ‘Mastermind’ inspired quiz to test what the children have learned!
The programme has attracted interest from BBC Landward, who will be filming one of the workshops to include in their round-up of activity at the Show.
On Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June, Seafood in Schools is running open sessions for children and parents, featuring a display cabinet of seafood and a ‘Come Dine with Me’ tasting session hosted by Fish for Health. Here, visitors will learn why seafood is especially good for our health, and be invited to try species high in Omega 3, including salmon, trout, mussels, crab, herring and mackerel.
“We will also be demonstrating how to make simple store-cupboard dishes like smoked mackerel pate, which is a firm favourite with children and adults,” said Fish for Health’s Catriona Frankitti.
Seafood in Schools is grateful to all their seafood sponsors, for helping to make the event possible, including Welch’s Fishmongers in Leith, Marine Harvest, Howietoun Fisheries, Dawnfresh, Scottish Shellfish Marketing Group, RR Spinks, Dawnfresh, Daniel's Sweet Herring, International Fish Canners, NorSea and Nairn's Oatcakes.
