An award-winning takeaway on Largs seafront features in a stylish new coffee table cookbook to celebrate the British seafood industry.

The Fish Works was invited to provide one of its menu items and selected a popular special -  smoked haddock macaroni and cheese.

Co-owner Tiffany Irvin was delighted with the recognition, and said: "The team were delighted to be asked to provide a recipe for the book.

"We strive to plough all our knowledge and passion for quality into providing customers with great sustainably sourced ingredients cooked fresh made to order.

"We are lucky to have access to the freshest local Scottish ingredients. Our ethos is to give our customers fresh food, handmade and expertly cooked in the best traditional way."

Award winner Jenny Jefferies is the author of the book 'For the Love of the Sea II.'

Following the course of its predecessor, which won the Guild of Food Writers Award for Best Self-Published Work in 2022, this sequel – which has been endorsed by Michelin-starred chef Nathan Outlaw – celebrates Britain’s  coastline through the people, produce, and practices that define it, and has been hailed as a “a seafood odyssey”.

Stories and recipes feture from all around the diverse coastal communities of the UK, from fishmongers to foragers and basket weavers to marine scientists - with The Fish Works playing its part in the national story celebrating the British seafood community and their food.

A central theme of this book is advocacy for sustainability and education.

Jenny is also donating 10 per cent of her net profits from the sales of For the Love of the Sea II to The Food Teachers Centre.

For the Love of the Sea II is described as 'A true homage to the bounty of Britain’s waters, inviting readers to fall back in love with our coastline and celebrate the incredible communities who are bound to it.'
