GRIMSBY Institute has a new feather in its cap - or should that be fin on its back?

This month has seen the launch of a UK Seafood School on its main campus at Nuns Corner in Grimsby.

Says a spokesperson: "The new facility will  provide world-class training and development opportunities for those pursuing careers in the seafood sector."

There is state-of-the art demonstration kitchen, a new wet room training space and a redesign of The Samphire restaurant (formerly The Gallery) to include  a dedicated seafood service area. 

These developments aim to equip local students with enhanced practical skills while supporting the long-term growth of Grimsby’s seafood industry.

 Costing £185,000, the seafood school will play a pivotal role in further strengthening Grimsby’s position as a leader in the UK’s seafood industry, providing crucial training and career development pathways for the next generation of professionals.

Enthuses Institute vice-principal Maria Turnbull-Kemp: "I am incredibly proud to see the UK Seafood School come to life here at the Grimsby Institute. 

"It provides a fantastic opportunity for young people, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact this will have, not only on the students, but on the entire seafood industry in the region."
