2010 Fish Festival

Well it's over and everyone seemed to have had a terrific time.
There was loads to see and do for both kids and adults and plenty of local fish to sample. The stalls where heaped with lobster and scallops.

A massive Paella was a winner with the locals.

There were local brewers selling cider and local ales. Liberation had brewed a special lager called Jack Spratt just for the occasion.

Emma Carlton of "Sweet Inspirations", who has recently just been awarded three gold stars from the "Taste of Britain" awards for her Sticky Toffee Pudding was selling her delicious cakes and pastries.

Slow Food had a stand to spread the word and gain some new members..

Over 9,000 visited the event and sampled some of the best food and drink this Island has to offer. All of this was put together by an industry in decline.

Day after day these guys go out in all kinds of weather to fish these coastal waters, plentiful with all manner of fish, and don't really get the poilitical support they deserve.

That said because of this event everyone had a better understanding of what Jersey fishermen do to provide such great treats for us all.

Well done to them and everyone concerned and in particular to Don Thompson who had the original vision and the skills to make it happen.
