“Scotland is one of the world’s most trusted seafood producing countries thanks to our investment in quality, innovation and sustainability. Whilst we’re a small nation, we produce over 60 species of seafood and export to over 120 countries globally. From Europe’s largest state-of-the-art fish market to some of the most stunning sea loch farms and fishing grounds and world-class venues, Scotland is the ideal location. It is therefore hugely satisfying to see all this hard work being recognized by the Global Seafood Alliance in choosing Scotland as the location for its 2024 conference. Seafood Scotland and our partner organizations look forward to welcoming delegates from the global seafood sector.” – Donna Fordyce, CEO, Seafood Scotland
