“We’ve had some great feedback from visitors, who complimented us on the fantastic atmosphere, and the choice of stalls.
“We have some superb local fish, and it was good to be able to showcase it so close to where it is landed.
“Our fish festivals are great for visitors, but vitally important for the local economy.
