Two Scottish fish farming products represented in Made in Britain Awards final
Now in its second year, the Made in Britain Awards promote and celebrate British producers, farmers and growers making the heritage foods of tomorrow.
From the finalists, which include the Roast-smoked Organic Brown Trout & Crowdie Pate from Cairngorm Smokehouse and Gigha farmed halibut, five food producers will be chosen, each winning £5,000 to develop their business and the opportunity to sell their product in local Waitrose stores. The overall Made in Britain Food Champion of the year will receive a further £5,000.
The winner of the Made in Britain Awards will be announced in September. The winners and finalists will appear in a special Country Living Magazine supplement published with the October 2009 issue.
Susy Smith, Editor of Country Living Magazine says, "Every one of the finalists in the Made in Britain Awards 2009 is producing something special. There are new takes on traditional foods, the rediscovery of lost recipes and cooking methods, the saving of rare breeds and old varieties and the ethical and sustainable farming of meat and fish - buy these foods and you can eat wonderfully well while supporting artisan producers and the rural economy."
