Cornish Fishmonger of the Year 2011 - can you cut the mustard?

The hunt is on to find the finest, fastest fish filleter in the West.

At this year’s Newlyn Fish Festival, taking place on the 29th August at Newlyn Harbour, Seafood Cornwall Training Ltd will host and sponsor the first ever “Cornish Fishmonger of the Year Competition”.

The competition aims to highlight the expertise of filleters and fishmongers from across the county, at the same time, promoting Cornish Fish and the profession to a wider audience.
