It was all smiles for those in the north-east town of Peterhead this weekend as the Seafood Festival made its welcome return today.
Organised by Rediscover Peterhead, the event coincided with the town’s monthly Producer Market which is usually very well attended by local producers and customers alike.
In 2018 around 14,500 people visited the area within a 24-hour window of Peterhead Seafood Festival starting and finishing, and organisers were delighted to see hundreds appear in support of local businesses.
More than 20 different food and drink stalls popped up in the centre of the town to sell their wares. Everyone from local bakers to distillers, butchers, fish merchants and more were out in force to showcase the best of the region.
There was plenty of confectionary and homebakes for those with a sweet tooth, and families had a whole series of events and activities available at their fingertips they could take part in.
From storytellers to dancers, musicians and other entertainers like a captain, a mermaid and face painters, it was a brilliant day out for all.
Little ones even got to get their own glitter tattoos if desired and Dory, Nemo and other characters got stuck into the action, too.
Plenty food enthusiasts could be found at the cookery demonstration area where Cat and John Frankitti showcased Peterhead’s finest produce at The Seafood Kitchen trailer.
They cooked up a storm and highlighted a multitude of ingredients that are caught and landed at Eurpoe’s biggest white fish market. Local crab, smoked salmon and oil-rich fish dishes were also rustled up.
Plenty festivalgoers also tucked into dishes by Auchmaliddie Mains Beef and Edelwurst Catering who were on hand to serve up hot food to everyone including burgers and bratwurst.
