Packed with more than 250 events Pembrokeshire Fish Week, 25th June – 3rd July 2011, will be a celebration of the county’s fantastic seafood, spectacular coastline, wonderful beaches and maritime heritage.
This year’s seriously fishy festival has many exciting new events including ‘Cook your Catch’, a seafood cookery masterclass with five top British chefs. Mark Hix, Valentine Warner, Mitch Tonks, Bryn Williams and Anthony Evans will be cooking inspirational fish and shellfish dishes at the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven on 29th June 2011. But there’s a catch! Earlier in the day, they will all go fishing off the South Pembrokeshire coast and they must cook their own rod-caught fish or shellfish in their demonstration – whatever it may be.

It sounds like they’ve made some great additions to the fish week. Last year, we happened to be in Pembrokeshire at the same time as the fish week, purely by coincidence, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. There were various interesting events and we thought the food was delicious and so fresh. Unfortunately we can’t make it this year, but I’m hoping we can go again next year, I’ll have to speak to my hubby about it.
