“I’ve loved the sea and seafood all my life. My father instilled in me a deep-seated passion for the shallow seas of our coastline and all that dwelt therein. I acquainted myself with the practices and skills of the inshore fisherman. Lobstering, long-lining for bull-headed cod and thorny roker and hooking (rod and line fishing) for whiting, dabs, bass and pouting.” Mike Warner is the owner of A Passion for Seafood, a fish shop in Hasketon selling seasonal British Seafood. Mike is a valued supporter of the festival and sponsor of the Seafood Stage. Find Mike on the Seafood Stage throughout the entire weekend, where he’ll be compering, hosting and leading engaging conversations about the fish industry on the East Coast.
