The masterclasses also outlined what to look for when sourcing quality Scottish seafood along with the different fishmongering techniques across a range of species.

Reliability, professionalism alongside a personable approach meant by the end of the project, it felt as if they were an extension of the team- an impressive feet given the timescales required to deliver the project within.
