Deadline extended for Seafood Awards 2009

The Seafish Authority has announced that the closing date for its Seafood Awards 2009 has been extended to 14 November.

These biennial awards are aimed at inspiring enterprise and innovation throughout the seafood industry.

 

All categories are free to enter apart from best New Seafood Product.

 

Fourteen award categories encompass all sectors of the industry and include seafood restaurant, seafood pub, seafood chef, encouraging children to eat seafood and best new seafood products, to name just a few, and there are opportunities to put forward nominees from sectors ranging from restaurants to processing, fishmongery to retail.

 

This year some of the categories have been expanded. Chief executive John Sutherland explained that its training and development awards now cover inspiring businesses as well as aspiring employees, and the award that focuses on encouraging children to eat seafood is now open not just to schools but to anyone who is involved in this hugely important field.

 

The Craft Guild of Chefs is supporting three of the award categories: seafood restaurant of the year, seafood pub of the year and seafood chef of the year.

  

The winners will be announced at the awards gala dinner at the Marriott Grosvenor Square, London, on 21 May 2009.
