The project called Seafood in Schools with whom we work closely with on a regular basis. The project runs anchor events for school clusters, showing children , where seafood comes from, how it gets to your plate and why its good for you. Following on from Seafood in Schools events we often get asked to follow up with a live mackerel masterclass for the children.
Children perceptions of fish are often defined by past experiences, ( good and bad) and they are very influenced by what they have experienced at home. Most of the issues we encounter are around bones and of course the smell.
