As part of our Future Fisheries project we have worked with local establishments and Living Seas champions to showcase a range of delicious dishes, using seafood caught locally in Welsh waters using low impact methods.
This recipe book includes fish stock recipes, tips on simple ways to cook fish as well as information about restaurants and places to source local seafood in south and west Wales.
