More than 450 north-east schoolchildren are taking part in the latest Seafood in Schools roadshow.
It got under way at Mackie Academy, in Stonehaven, yesterday and continues today.
Pupils from Mill O’Forest, Arduthie, Gourdon, Bervie, Catterline, Kinneff, Johnshaven, Lairhillock, Glenbervie, Carronhill and Dunnottar primaries are learning about where seafood comes from, how it gets to their plates and why it is good to eat.
They are also finding out about careers in the seafood industry.
Sticking to a format tried and tested at other schools around Scotland in its popular Seafood in Schools programme, industry body Seafood Scotland has cooked examples available for the youngsters to taste.
Last night, parents and other relatives were invited along to find out what the children are learning at the workshops.
Aberdeenshire Council is providing funding to allow pupils at all its schools to benefit from the scheme, which is also supported by various local seafood suppliers and cooks.
Aberdeen Fish Producers’ Organisation chief executive David Anderson said: “Everyone from industry involved in these events agrees that giving the next generation an opportunity to see how this healthy product can be acquired and cooked is vital for all our futures.”
Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation chief executive Scott Landsburgh added: “We are delighted to continue our support for the Seafood in Schools programme.
“The workshops offer a fun and interactive way for children to learn about salmon farming, to discover the fantastic taste and texture of our home-grown salmon and to discover how Scottish salmon is good for their health.”
