Work has begun on a major new £30m mackerel and herring processing facility and cold-store upgrade for Denholm Seafoods in Peterhead, which will result in increased efficiencies, enhanced product quality and a lower carbon footprint.

Denholm Seafoods is getting ready for the summer North Sea herring season.

Denholm Seafoods is delighted to be exhibiting at the upcoming Seafood Expo Global 2022 in Barcelona. The event - which is a staple in the global seafood industry calendar - will take place from 26-28 April 2022 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via Venue in Spain.

The Scottish North Sea herring season will shortly get underway, with vessels from Fraserburgh, Peterhead, and Shetland working traditional grounds in search of the ‘silver darlings’. 

Global Seafood Assurances is pleased to announce that several vessels in the UK have recently certified to the Responsible Fishing Vessel Standard, including Denholm Seafoods' partner vessel, Taits.
