Maorach - Hebridean Shellfish

How does Hebridean shellfish get from the wild seas and onto people鈥檚 plates in Spain? Ciamar a bhios maorach a' siubhal bho chuantan Innse Gall gu truinnsearan na Sp脿inne?

A journey to discover how some of the best creel-caught shellfish in the world gets from the wild Hebridean seas off the west coast of Scotland and onto people鈥檚 plates. As everyone works hard to overcome the challenges of the winter weather to supply the Christmas market, the film explores why so much British shellfish is exported live to Spain.

What happens when Brexit threatens to destroy the fishermen鈥檚 route to their main market? Can suppliers overcome these barriers or can new markets be developed in the UK or in the Far East?

How do world-class chefs Gary MacLean, Joan Roca and Paco Perez cook shellfish to conjure a sense of where it comes from? As people are encouraged to eat more fish and less meat, what new tastes and trends are emerging? How is the shellfish caught to protect the wild fishing stock for the future?
