What a great day off we’ve had 😊 A lazy morning then off to Kirkcudbright for lunch at Skipper's Scran Van 😋 before our Hot Smoking Demo at Station House Cookery School👌🏼It’s something we’ve wanted to get into for ages and Nick’s knowledge really inspired us to get going! We were treated to succulent smoked chicken thighs, salmon and pork belly with pickled cucumber, potato salad and sauerkraut, perfect accompaniments! Get those wood chips fired up Fisherman!

Last weekend we had the pleasure of attending and helping out at the most fantastic event organised by and .folkschool 👌🏼Just a short snippet here, lots more footage to show yet!

A 3 day coastal forage and cookery course took us into stunning bluebell carpeted woodland on the Dunskey Estate. Here we foraged, fished, cooked in and over fire, tracked animals, scrambled over rocks to collect seaweeds, drank botanical cocktails, laughed often, made new friends and learned more than we could ever have imagined from wonderful people ☺️

We were so delighted to be invited and supply local seafood of crab, lobster, Buckie’s, velvet crab, langoustines and scallops, all of which were cooked expertly over fire in the great outdoors!

The collective knowledge and experience of Mark, Hannah, Steven, Craig and the other pro foragers made this an experience we will never forget 💚

“Thankyou for an incredible afternoon! You knowledge of plants and cocktails is a great combination and we were blown away by the flavours you introduced us to. The foraged drinks and cocktails were delicious and we are now enjoying concocting our own hedgerow cocktails!” – Lee McGann, Glasgow

Can we come too? ☺️

On route to Seafood Expo Global in Barcelona. Always good to support Scotland’s fishing industry and the wider seafood sector at an event of this scale.

A great opportunity to catch up with people across the industry, strengthen relationships, and help showcase the quality of Scottish seafood to an international audience.

Proud to play a small part in supporting a sector that means so much to Scotland’s economy, communities and reputation.
