On this special episode of Scran we look forward to the upcoming St James Quarter Seafood Festval. This is the second time this event will take place in Edinburgh's eating, drinking and retail mecca. Rosalind chat with Scotland's National Chef Gary MacLean who has some sage advice around DIY fish smoking as well as revealing when his next book will be available. Gary owns Creel Caught which is part of Bonnie and Wild, St James Quarter's marketplace and foodhall.  Another thriving business under the same roof is Maki & Ramen, owner and chef Teddy Lee tells Roz about the explosion in popularity for Japanese food in the last 15 years. Teddy will be doing masterclasses at the Festival alongside Gary. Both share their passion for Scottish seafood and why it's good to know what to seasonally.  Rosalind is also joined by Jennifer Laseen, Hospitality, Food and Beverage Director at St James Quarter, who gives her an update on how the business is expanding and going from strength to strength. Jennifer also shares the exciting plans for this year's Seafood Festival which runs from Friday 31st March to Sunday 2nd April.
