This weekend until Monday the Seafood Festival has returned to St James Quarter.

Enjoy the world of Scottish seafood in the heart of the city with live cooking demonstrations, supper clubs with only a dozen seats available at each meal, original one off menus and a fresh produce market.

Some of the best chefs from Scotland will be showing off their skills like John Maltby from SUSHISAMBA, Teddy Lee from Maki & Ramen, Sandy Browning from Ka Pan, Jimmy Lee from Salt & Chilli and Leith Woks, Max Terheggen from Duck & Waffle, Roberta Hall-McCarron from The Little Chartroom and Dan Ashmore from ASKR.

In the marketplace there will be other foods from local artisans such as smoked fish from Harris & Lewis, macarons from Lozzie Bakes, Isle of Mull Seaweed Chutney and doughnuts from Seriously Dough. There will be pop up bars and the Nae Bother Foods food truck will be on Register Square with its fresh fish and chips.

Susan Hewlett, St James Quarter Brand and Marketing Director, said, “We are delighted to welcome back such a great event which we know really resonates with our guests. Edinburgh Seafood Festival offers us the opportunity to not only celebrate the ‘great taste on every level’ here, but also the wonderful abundance of seafood from around Scotland as well as supporting greater awareness of the importance of protecting our seas and coastline.

“Hosting the Edinburgh Seafood Festival allows guests to enjoy some of the most exciting Seafood experiences, from exquisite Supper Clubs to renowned local chef demonstrations along with market stalls selling great Scottish produce, visitors can watch, learn, buy and hopefully experiment at home. There is something for everyone.”
