Seafood Scotland is a trade organisation that was 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.

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.

As secretariat for the SPSG Seafood Scotland also provides press and PR activities support for the group. Please contact Nicki Holmyard for information of press activities This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
