About the National Seafood Chef of the Year Competition
Proudly hosted in Grimsby since its inception 29 years ago, the National Seafood Chef of the Year (NSCOTY) competition shines a national spotlight on emerging culinary talent. Established in 1996 by the Grimsby Institute’s hospitality department, NSCOTY was created to celebrate seafood and provide a dedicated platform for young chefs to showcase their skills.
In addition to the fantastic prizes on offer to the winners of the competition, the competing chefs are provided with a platform to showcase what they are capable of and demonstrate new and inventive ways in which to use sustainable seafood, pushing the boundaries of the culinary imagination.
Each year, NSCOTY fosters an environment where innovation, talent, and a love for sustainable seafood thrive, leaving competitors with unforgettable experiences and the tools to excel in the industry. Grimsby’s proud legacy as home to this competition continues to inspire the next generation of chefs on a national stage.
