Mackerel Dip

Seafood is one of Scotland's most incredible natural assets and there is a great project which is inspiring children to taste and learn more about Seafood.

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.

The Recipe
Mackerel dip this is one of our favourite recipes to make with children in a class room....the recipe that we are using is from Seafood Scotland and is on our recipe page.

Cinco de Mayo

Bringing History and food together

Cinco de Mayo seemed appropriate beginning as it was the date of our first blog, and we do a love a bit of history and of course dressing up!
