Seafood Scotland is a trade organisation set up in 1999 by the main representatives of the Scottish seafood industry, to market, promote and develop responsibly caught Scottish seafood in order to maximise the value return to industry.
Seafood Scotland also acts as delivery partner for Seafish in
Scotland.
The organisation works closely with all sectors of the Scottish
seafood supply chain, from catching and processing, through to
retail, food service and consumption, and encourages and
facilitates those sectors to cooperate together.
Seafood Scotland undertakes quality work on vessels, and in
harbours, markets and processors. It also assists seafood
businesses with strategic development, new product development,
marketing and PR, and commissions a number of studies each year to
help establish new markets for Scottish seafood products.
As a trade organisation, it helps buyers to source top quality
sustainable Scottish seafood through introductions to Scottish
processors, wholesalers and fishermen, and by assisting in the
development of business links in Scotland. Inward and outward trade
missions are arranged on a regular basis to facilitate meetings
with new and existing customers and supply-bases, and to explore
potential markets. Seafood Scotland's highly specialised staff have
an expert knowledge of the seafood sector and are fluent in
English, French and Spanish.
We also support local food festivals, health and educational
initiatives and national as well as international promotions of
Scottish seafood. We work closely with trade, local and national
media to ensure maximum positive coverage of the Scottish seafood
industry and its produce.
