The Scottish seafood industry is a thriving business employing 13,000
people and with a long, proud heritage and tradition. Working
responsibly, it is constantly developing and adapting to face the
challenges and meet the demands of the global market.
The present-day industry has a fleet of modern vessels and processing
factories which are investing heavily in innovative technology and
improved handling techniques to ensure the Scottish seafood on your
plate is second to none in terms of quality and sustainability.
Over 60 different species are landed around Scotland’s 4,000 kilometres
of beautiful clean coastline, with landings of more than 400,000 tonnes
each year, making Scotland one of the largest seafood producers in
Europe. You can easily find anything from gorgeous Scottish
langoustine, Scotland's most valuable seafood product in terms of
landings, to healthy oil-rich mackerel or Scottish haddock, packed with
minerals, protein and vitamin B, from your local fish monger, fish van
or supermarket.
With so much top quality Scottish seafood around, you're spoilt for
choice if you want to prepare a healthy, tasty and fast dish. In only
minutes, you can pan fry, oven bake, poach, grill or cook a wide range
of readily available quality seafood and treat your loved ones to a
delicious meal that is nutritious and filling and ideal for a growing
body or just for helping maintain a healthy diet. Mouth watering recipe
