shellfish on offer and learn all the tricks of the trade - how to
recognise fresh fish, shellfish and how best to fillet or prepare them
for the kitchen.
Then it's off to Trill Farm, a real working organic farm and sustainable skills centre, with are basket full of the freshest local seafood available.
Here you can sit back and first enjoy some local, tasty, seafood treats
