School of Fish

We’ve developed an online training platform to get you up-to-speed with the basics of sustainable seafood. Whether you’re at catering college or sourcing seafood for work, we’ve got you covered.

We’ve worked with the food service industry and catering colleges to create a free, step-by-step programme to develop your skills and understanding.

Our School of Fish is an online course that takes you through sustainable seafood in simple steps.

What you'll learn
