Scottish seafood businesses and product representatives will join Seafood Scotland to share a taste of what is on offer. The menu will feature a selection of Scotland’s best seafood including fresh and smoked salmon, langoustines, oysters, scallops and brown crab provided by Loch Fyne Oysters, Loch Fyne Seafarms, Mowi and The Scottish Salmon company.

Thrilled to be back

Natalie Bell, head of trade marketing at Seafood Scotland, said: “Gulfood has always kicked off our trade show calendar and we are thrilled to be in Middle East again.

“A recent report from the Arab Organisation for Agricultural Development showed that UAE (United Arab Emirates) residents eat nearly twice the amount of fish than the world average. With seafood clearly a popular choice in the region, we are looking forward to spreading the word about the fantastic choice of quality species our country offers.”
