We were thrilled that our (cured mackerel) Gravadmax recipe was used in the Sustainable Seafood feature in September 2008 issue of Olive magazine.
We were featured strongly in the September issue of Restaurant magazine, they visited us earlier in the year they were really nice and we had a great day with them.
We were bowled over when the mail arrived one cold wet Saturday morning to open the first letter and discover, we were winners of the Which Good Food Guide 2009’ Best UK Fish Restaurant, in the Editors choice.
We bid farewell to Emma and Louise who are now in University they have been a central part of the crew for 3 years, and we wish them every success with their future careers.
September 26 we were all thrilled when Mary attended the Taste of Highlands and Islands Restaurant of the Year 2008 awards and we won
October 9th We had a crew from South African TV filming throughout the restaurant.
October 20, We’re closed for the week Jim’s away to the Slow food organisation annual convention at Terra Madre Turin Italy, as it is invite only and just 30 chefs from the entire UK, I’m mighty privileged.

Monday, 29 October 2007 |

We're closed now for our annual holiday and heading off to Australia, I've a few days lined up cooking in some of Sydney's top eating out establishments, I'm also doing a couple of masterclasses in Sydney Fish market seafood training school, so I'll continue to update my blog so keep an eye. Of course all this will not happen until Friday when we're attending the Thistle award ceremony as we are shortlisted finalists in the 'Flavours of Scotland' category. Wish us luck and thanks for dropping by.
Well here we are after the event and you'll probably be as anxious as we were to see how that one panned out (pardon the pun)....
read on Jim.

The almost baronial statesman like interior of 'Fishmongers Hall' at London bridge is awesome and such a humbling experience. The sushi and sashimi masterclass held by one of Japan's prominent sushi chefs, was fantastic, and with the quality of the fish available to us in Scrabster, I will most certainly be adding to my repertoire in the weeks and months to come
