MALLAIG cooked up a storm at the weekend, as the first Taste the Wild food festival was held.
Saturday’s events saw hotels and restaurants working together to produce the food festival, which involved butchery and fish demonstrations, wine-tasting and a whole lot of shelling, as the world prawn-peeling championship was held.
Sarah Winnington-Ingram, of Arisaig House and chairwomen of the Road to the Isles marketing group, said: ‘I’m thrilled with the whole thing. There is a really lovely atmosphere here and I think it’s more than we could have hoped for. We have proper, genuine local food here at the festival which all the hotels worked together to produce.’
