- The Orkney Fishermen's Society has received the Highlands & Islands Food and Drink Excellence Award
The group was one of ten organisations or individuals announced as winners at the ceremony, which recognises the best local, healthy, and ethical food and drink in the region, as well as innovative and new businesses.
The society received the award for their commitment to producing high quality live crabs and sustainable fishing.
Stewart Stevenson, Scottish minister for the environment, said, “The Highland and Islands Food and Drink Awards are a key date in the food and drink industry calendar, and are a valuable celebration of the hard work and dedication which goes into producing the high quality products available throughout the region.
“I would like to congratulate all those companies nominated and I am delighted to be presenting the Excellence award to the Orkney Fishmen’s Society in recognition of their particular achievements in the crab processing field.”
