Participants were trained in quality assessment techniques for key fish species including cod, plaice, mackerel and salmon using both theory and practical sessions.

One of the course participants, Monika Rostek, Oceanpath, said “As a Quality Manager working for a company supplying raw fish, I found this course very interesting and straight to the point. I have gained confidence and skills that will greatly benefit my role and assist in my day to day assessment of incoming product’ Another participant, Shane Molloy from Molloy Fish Sales Killybegs, added “This course is a must for anybody involved in the handling of fresh fish”.
