Short courses in Fish Filleting, Seafood Quality Assessment and Introduction to Fish Mongery will be delivered during October and November 2010 at Penwith College, Penzance with 6 available places available on each. Further additional dates for Cornwall will be scheduled according to demand and courses for Devon and Dorset are currently being confirmed for commencement from January 2011 onwards.

The one-day Fish filleting course is aimed at anyone working in the seafood industry, from the catcher to the chef. Techniques taught on the day will include skinning, filleting and steaking a variety of fish, all sourced from the region.

The seafood skills courses can be attended individually or as a block and will be certified by Seafish. Equipped with new skills and increased confidence, trainees will be able to add real value to the South West's catch. Further dates and venues across the South West will be announced shortly. Anyone from the seafood sector involved in the catching, processing, marketing, selling, serving or distribution of fish can take part at a subsidised rate. The Regional Seafood Industry Skills project is part funded by South West Food & Drink (SWFD) and enables Seafood Cornwall Training, based in Newlyn, to provide specialist subsidised* training programs in Fish Filleting, Fish Mongery and Seafood Quality, to aid the development of the shore based, seafood sector, across Cornwall and the South West.
