The event is designed to bring together institutional seafood buyers – schools, hospitals, other institutions; community food groups; hospitality; convenience food outlets, retailers, food policy makers and food system researchers.
Join us to understand more about where the seafood in UK markets comes from, what’s new in the market, what to consider when buying seafood and delicious recipes. Ask questions of experts from industry, research and government as they discuss the challenges of increasing seafood consumption, especially in poorer parts of the UK.
