Asian Style Scottish Brown Crab Salad

While the Tandem Tasters were at Sirha and Bocuse d’Or, we were impressed with Seafood Scottland’s booth. Once we tasted this delicious fresh seafood, we were delighted.

.

Seafood Scotland, after much competition, earned the right to be the seafood of choice for the 24 countries participating in Bocuse d’Or to use for their presentations during the competition. That was an exceptional fete, the first time Seafood Scotland has been awarded this honor.

.

I was fortunate to be able to interview Nicki Holmyard in Communications who told me how this wild seafood is  fished and processed. I hope you enjoy.  After the video, check out The Asian Style Scottish Brown Crab Salad recipe.
