A Guide to Seafood

Seafood is one of the UK’s most popular foods, worth nearly £5 billion to the UK economy. Over 70% of the seafood that we consume in the UK is sourced on a worldwide basis. For example 95% of the cod we eat comes from outside the North Sea. In the UK alone there are over one hundred different species available to us.
The Guide to Seafood Gallery of this web site provides information on seafood species, cooking, preparation and purchasing. There is a vast amount of useful and interesting information available from this Gallery, and most of it is thanks to M&J Seafoods, the developers of the original printed version of the Guide. Unless otherwise indicated, all of the photography in this section (species photos etc) is copyright M&J Seafood's and cannot be used without the written permission of M&J Seafood's Ltd.

If as a chef, fishmonger or member of the public you enjoy seafood as food, then you will enjoy this Gallery. M&J Seafood's maintain an online information resource on seafood species at this URL.
