Pembrokeshire Fish Week 2006
Seafood tapas tastings, rock pool rambles, and learn-to-fish open days - just some of more than 100 events that took place at the 2006 Pembrokeshire Fish Week.
Marking it's 7th year in 2006, Fish Week aims to raise awareness of the wealth of fish and shellfish to eat, catch and buy in the county. UPDATE:

The family-friendly festival was held from 24th June to 2nd July, with events right across Pembrokeshire.
 "Children and families have so much to pick from this year, with several new activities coming onboard," said Kate Morgan, Food Officer at Pembrokeshire County Council and event organiser.
"Choose from beach rambles, seaside drawing competitions, fishy costume-making, creative workshops, snorkel safari and beach fun, fishy tales storytelling, and children's angling open days and competitions.
"There's also a special fish day at Cwtch restaurant in St Davids where children are encouraged to try mussels, home-made fish fingers and fish cakes - just the thing for those growing brains!"
 Food-lovers were well catered for with more than 50 fish and seafood events organised by county pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops, fishmongers and delis.Visitors enjoyed "seafood extravaganzas", crab lunches, fish and chip suppers, seafood barbecues, or an Indian evening featuring Bengali fish dishes. There was also a touch of celebrity cooking for good measure - John Torode from BBC Two's 'Masterchef Goes Large' held a Fish & Shellfish Masterclass' at the Torch Theatre.
Other cooking demonstrations included a 'Wok Fish' oriental fish cookery class at Pembrokeshire College where participants could take home what they cooked.
New events for 2006 included 'Intimate with Fish', a fish filleting and preparation workshop at Pembrokeshire College with international fish craftsman Duncan Lucas.
Also for the first time, visitors travelling from Fishguard Harbour to Rosslare on the ferry savoured 'Fish Week in Food City' ' a selection of dishes using locally-supplied fresh fish.
The launch of Pembrokeshire Fish Week took place at the traditional home of the county's fishing industry - Milford Docks - on Saturday June 24th with an open day for all the family.
This year, Fish Week coincided with the Seafair Haven festival and a visit from the Irish emigrant ship Dunbrody.
'Seafair Haven' welcomed classic and traditional craft from the UK, France and Ireland to the Milford Haven Waterway to help celebrate the maritime heritage of Pembrokeshire. The Dunbrody, a 176 foot three-masted barque, led a parade of sail on 30th June.
