How does Hebridean shellfish get from the wild seas and onto people’s plates in Spain?

How does Hebridean shellfish get from the wild seas and onto people’s plates in Spain? Ciamar a bhios maorach a' siubhal bho chuantan Innse Gall gu truinnsearan na Spàinne?

A journey to discover how some of the best creel-caught shellfish in the world gets from the wild Hebridean seas off the west coast of Scotland and onto people’s plates. As everyone works hard to overcome the challenges of the winter weather to supply the Christmas market, the film explores why so much British shellfish is exported live to Spain.  

What happens when Brexit threatens to destroy the fishermen’s route to their main market? Can suppliers overcome these barriers or can new markets be developed in the UK or in the Far East?

How do world-class chefs Gary MacLean, Joan Roca and Paco Perez cook shellfish to conjure a sense of where it comes from? As people are encouraged to eat more fish and less meat, what new tastes and trends are emerging? How is the shellfish caught to protect the wild fishing stock for the future?

Sealladh air mar a bhios cuid dhen mhaorach as fheàrr air thalamh a chaidh a ghlacadh le cliabh ann an uisgeachan Innse Gall an Alba a' ruighinn an truinnseir. Fhad 's a tha a h-uile duine a' strì ri dùbhlain a' gheamhraidh mu choinneamh iarratas na Nollaig, seallaidh am film ri cuige a bhios uimhir de mhaorach Bhreatainn ga chur beò dhan Spàinn.

Dè a thachras nuair a chuireas Brexit an t-slighe dhan phrìomh mhargaidh ann an cunnart? An tèid aca air faighinn seachad air na cnapan-starra, neo an gabh margaidhean ùra an lorg san RA neo san Ear Chèin?
Ciamar a bhios còcairean leithid Gary MacLean, Joan Roca is Paco Perez a' bruiche mhaorach a riochdachadh cò às an d' thàinig e? Mar a tha daoine gam brosnachadh gu bhith ag ithe barrachd èisg is nas lugha feòil, dè na blasan is fasanan ùra a tha a' nochdadh? Ciamar a ghabhas maorach a ghlacadh airson stocan fiadhaich a dhìon san àm ri teachd?
