'FISH FOREVER' CAMPAIGN AT TRURO FATSTOCK SHOW
December 2003

The ‘Fish Forever’ campaign is to join the Truro Primestock Show on Wednesday 3 December on Lemon Quay. A dedicated marquee will feature all things fishy and invite everyone in Truro to take part in its fish experience. Building on the success of fish events earlier this year at the Royal Cornwall Show, Newlyn Fish Festival, Newquay Fish Festival and the Falmouth Oyster Festival, it is now Truro’s opportunity to learn more about fish.

The ‘Fish Forever’ campaign, funded with Objective One monies and supported by Sea Fish Industry Authority is promoting fish through cookery and preparation demonstrations, a wet fish display and on site fish merchant.Cookery demonstrations, starting at 10am, will be in a ‘Ready, Steady, Cook’ style featuring chefs from local restaurants such as Café Citron, Mannings and Saffron in Truro and the Bolingey Inn near Perranporth. Visitors will be shown how to prepare fish including filleting and how to ‘pick’ a crab.

Cornish Cuisine, the award winning smoke-house from Penryn will have delicious smoked salmon for sale. The wet fish display showing a wide variety of locally landed fish will be auctioned at 5.30pm in aid of the Fishermen’s Mission and Duchy Fish Quota Company and their "Naked Fishermen’s" calendars will also be on sale with guest signings by Mr May.

‘Fish Forever’ events organiser Fiona Osman said ‘"we have had such good feedback from people attending our events earlier this year, especially those who enjoyed tasting the dishes. It really is a great opportunity to learn more about the fantastic variety of fresh fish available and landed in Cornwall, how to prepare it and cook it. We are trying to take the "fear factor" out of fish and encourage more people to include fish on their weekly menu".

Come and enjoy the day’s events at the ‘Fish Forever’ marquee, Wednesday 3 December 10am – 6.30pm on Lemon Quay.
