Seafood Scotland partners with Michelin as awards head to Glasgow for first time

Written by: Edward Waddell
Seafood Scotland, the trade marketing body that represents the entire Scottish seafood industry, has been confirmed as a partner for the Michelin Guide Ceremony Great Britain & Ireland 2025.

The ceremony will be held in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow on 10th February 2025. The successful bid to host the ceremony came from a joint partnership between Glasgow Life and Scotland Food & Drink.

Adam Wing, head of trade marketing for Seafood Scotland, said: “A coveted Michelin Star puts a restaurant, and its chef team, firmly on the culinary map. This partnership will enhance our existing strategy of working directly with some of the best chefs in the land to highlight the wide array of world-class Scottish seafood species so often highlighted on a menu. 

“Our research has revealed that Scottish scallops from Mull, Skye, and Orkney are the most utilised Scottish seafood species by Michelin Starred restaurants closely followed by our delicious langoustines. We’re making plans to host pre- and post-Awards events in Glasgow to showcase the very best of Scotland’s bountiful seafood larder. This is a tremendous opportunity for the Scottish seafood sector, and we are going to make the most of it.”

Scotland currently has two 2-Michelin Starred restaurants: The Glenturret Lalique in Crieff, and Restaurant Andrew Fairlie within The Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder.

A further nine restaurants have One Michelin Star, including Glasgow’s Cail Bruich and Unalome by Graeme Cheevers. The others are: Condita, Heron, Restaurant Martin Wishart, Timberyard, and The Kitchin, all Edinburgh; The Peat Inn, Fife; and Loch Bay on Skye.
