Crail Food Festival

On the 9th and 10th of June we attended Crail Food Festival. 
Crail Food Festival is a weekend event where lots of brilliant, independent food and drink businesses come together in the beautiful coastal village of Crail to showcase the best local products available. 
There was also a whole host of entertainment, including music events, activities for children, Indoor and outdoor markets. Guests enjoyed sampling lots of tasty samples, food demonstrations, talks from popular chefs, meeting producers and of course learning about new local products.  

We were down at the harbour this year with the seafood speciality. We were in brilliant company with The Newport, Barnacles and Bones, Fish & Frites, Iain.R Spink Smokies, The Langoustine box and many more. 
Next to us we had East Neuk Orchards, a beautifully handcrafted apple juice. Using apples from local orchards and walled gardens of Fife. If you haven't tried them yet we would highly recommend it, the flavour is absolutely gorgeous!

For the weekend we had made a delish seafood selection. Including hot smoked salmon salad with a dill creme fraiche, seared Tuna salad served with a beaut coconut milk dressing, Crayfish on homemade tortillas, served with guacamole and a tomato salsa, and we also had cajun spiced Salmon and Seabass tacos cooked to order, we served these with a delicious white cabbage slaw, guacamole and a sriracha mayo on a corn wrap.  
Our tacos are always a huge hit with our customers and Crail was no exception, We sold out of both options on both days of the weekend. 
If you would like to try our Tacos they will be coming back to our Dundee menu every Tuesday very soon!
It is such a great experience getting the one on one communication with our customers. We had the great opportunity to meet some new customers to Tailend and of course we seen many familiar faces too. 

If you haven't attended the festival yet, you need to! Its on once a year and there is such a brilliant atmosphere. From vendors offering free tasters of their favourite products, live music, children playing games to guests sailing into the harbour; there is such a sense of fun in the village. Also the opportunity to see the level of high quality businesses that we have on our door step all in one place, helping and working together really is fantastic.
The staff at Crail Food Festival couldn't of been any more helpful and were always there to lend a hand if needed. 
Everyone involved in the organisation of the festival did and outstanding job! Everything went so well and I think everyone had a great time! We were also so lucky with the weather the Sunday was a beautiful sunny day and in the location we had down the harbour was just gorgeous.
