country in recent years.
The heart of the Feast is Brixham
Fish Market, where England's biggest
catch (by value) is landed; over 40
species of fish and shellfish are
regularly sold at the daily auction.
During the Feast, tours of the market
will take place on certain days
(booking essential).

There is plenty more to enjoy. Listen
to the sounds of the sea by local sea
shanty singers, take a trip out to
sea and feast on fish and chips, go
fishing and learn how to cook the
day's catch, join a seashore foraging
workshop or go wild sea swimming
with local experts.
Mitch Tonks, restaurateur and
owner of Rockfish, sayd, "The world
of seafood can be a bit of a mystery
sometimes, we often stick to the
things we know. Our seafood coast
in England has the most amazing
range of species caught and landed
in our waters by our fishermen. The
Feast is a fantastic couple of weeks
showcasing all of that, people can
visit and try so many different things. Our seafood coast

It really is feasting; feasting on all the
variety, going from place to place and
trying something different, it's like a
seafood trail. I suggest getting your
map out early and planning where to
go and what to eat, time to feast!"
Simon Hulstone, chef-proprietor
of the Michelin-starred Elephant
Restaurant, said "South Devon has an
abundance of fantastic produce and
I honestly can't think of anywhere
better in the UK for local sourcing.
It's a pleasure to support the local
coastline with England's Seafood
Feast and I'm looking forward to
being involved again this year."
