Wild Eye: Yorkshire Seafood Kitchen partners with the YWT
A leading seafood chef is bringing ‘bivalves and banter’ to the Yorkshire coast over the next two years as part of an innovative scheme to attract nature, art and food lovers to the region
It’s all part of a new project called Wild Eye, which sees the chef-consultant’s Yorkshire Seafood Kitchen partnering with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, environmental art group Invisible Dust, and SeaGrown, Britain’s first large-scale offshore seaweed farm, to raise awareness of conservation and climate threats to the coast whilst attracting visitors to the area. Wild Eye is funded by the government’s Towns Fund through Scarborough Borough Council.
Along the way, he’ll be offering free tasters of his excellent food – and as the former owner of the award-winning Green’s restaurant in Whitby, and an Ambassador for Seafish, which supports the British seafood sector, he knows his mackerel from his mussels. ‘We’re just in the midst of planning some events at Scarborough Market Hall: demos using produce from the fishmonger up there and SeaGrown’s seaweed seasonings. There’s a really good bakery up there, and a couple of fruit and veg stalls. It’s all about involving local businesses, focusing on sustainability, seasonality, provenance and the promotion of local food suppliers.
