Pembrokeshire: Welsh food hot spot

Thursday, 01 May, 2007 0

Pembrokeshire in South West Wales has several claims to fame. It boasts Britain’s only coastal national park and a growing reputation for fine cuisine. A culinary highlight of the county calendar is Pembrokeshire Fish Week (June 23 – July 1) which celebrates the county’s fishing tradition, beautiful coastline and clean seas with more than a hundred events, from Italian fish cookery to paella nights, rock pool rambles, and river cruises.

Chris Tanner, one of Britain’s most exciting young chefs and a rising television star, is hosting a fish and shellfish masterclass (June 27). Other chefs will be hosting demonstrations, tastings and classes during the festival. Other highlights include a sea angling competition at Fishguard with a £750 top prize; a charity fisherman’s dinner and a family fun day at Fishguard, together with established fun days at Milford Haven, traditional home of the county’s fishing industry, and picturesque Tenby. Pembrokeshire, also popular with walkers and other outdoor activity seekers, is 90 miles west of the Welsh capital Cardiff. Fish week details, tel. 01437 776168.
