Crail Beach, Crail

What has Crail Beach to do with food? There is a lovely food festival held here. Also, we have used Crail Beach to represent the fact that Fife has a lot of sea around it and that we in Britain have historically relied on the sea to provide a lot of food for us. A visit to Crail Beach and the rest of the East Neuk gives an insight into the scale of the fishing industry at one time. However, the seafood that is landed in Fife has changed over the years. Long gone are the herring days and now most of the white fish is landed in Peterhead or Aberdeen. However, Fife lands lots of shellfish, langoustine, velvet crab etc, though much of this goes for export.

What are your favourite fish recipes? Where do you get your fish from? What do you think about the European Common Fisheries Policy, or the campaign, lead by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, to reform it?
