Inshore Scottish waters provide the perfect environment for #langoustine to thrive! With a soft, meaty texture these versatile shellfish cook in minutes and are packed full of nutrients harvested from Scotland's mineral-rich waters.

Happy World Ocean Day! We're proud to launch an exciting new film for Take the Bait, a collaboration with Bangor University and @SeaTrustWales, supported by fishermen. By working together, we can ensure our solutions to plastic pollution are holistic and effective. #WorldOceanDay

Thank you to the UK UK Seafood Innovation Fund for supporting our #TaketheBait campaign! This fund supports innovative projects that bring new ideas and technology to the UK seafood sector and improve our seafood, fishing and aquaculture industries. Bangor University @SeaTrustWales

Langoustines are also closely related to the lobster and are prized for their vibrant orange-pink colouring.

We're hiring! As Macduff continues to grow, we are recruiting for General Operative positions at our Mintlaw and Stornoway processing facilities in Scotland.

Incredible research is happening behind the scenes as part of our #TaketheBait project. A team of specialists at Bangor University have explored how bait bags used in whelk fishing can be more easily recycled. @SeaTrustWales bit.ly/3BeGdns

We're thinking holistically with #TaketheBait - working on a solution to plastic pollution in the ocean, whilst also designing a more practical, efficient bait bag for whelk fishermen. #Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Bangor University @SeaTrustWales
