Welcoming guests to the launch, owner John Lavery shared his vision by stating, “We at Fish City have a strong ethos on sustainability, traceability and nutrition.

“This event is about bringing our partners together and showcasing the flavours in our new menu. We aim to develop new opportunities promoting fish, supporting tourism and our local economy.”

Guest speaker Professor Elliott stated, “The concept of Fish City is absolutely in keeping with reconnecting people with what they eat.”

He continued, “To understand that fish is delicious and nutritious but also sustainable and traceable is incredibly important.”

Roy and Gillian Willingham of Lacada Brewery Co-operative said: “This was an exciting opportunity as we have been brewing now for 18 months and it is important for us to collaborate with businesses such as Fish City.

“Following on from year of Food and Drink with NIGoodFood, our craft beers are particularly good with fish and so many other dishes as well as for general enjoyment. It was a great evening and thank you to Fish City for the invitation.”
