Reflecting on being shortlisted for the Made In Scotland Award, Amity Managing Director Jimmy Buchan expressed his delight at the nominations, saying:
“I’m delighted to share Amity Fish Co is shortlisted as finalists in the “Made in Scotland” awards. Once again, the dedication of a small team working together is testament to getting this far. We’re wishing all the finalists a great evening and look forward to seeing you all on the 19th.”

Alongside this shortlisting, Amity has also been named as a finalist for the 2022 Scottish Food and Drink Retail Awards for their IQF Hand Peeled Langoustine Tails.
One hundred and forty outstanding Scottish food and drink products have made it onto the shortlist for the Scottish Retail Food & Drink Awards 2022 (SRFDA). The products represent a broad selection of food and drink categories and have been chosen by more than 50 experienced, expert judges after more than four weeks of intense judging.
SRFDA Director Antony Begley shared: “With entries up over 30% on last year, we knew that the judging would be challenging and rewarding in equal measure, but I think it’s fair to say that our judges thoroughly enjoyed the experience and had the opportunity to try so many exciting products.”
Reflecting on being shortlisted, Jimmy Buchan expressed his delight at the nomination, adding: “Langoustine is one of Scotland’s most valuable seafood products. To have the peeled Langoustine shortlisted is exciting for Amity but also a great step in retaining the value of this product here in Scotland.”
“Our aim was always to have more people eating and enjoying peeled Langoustine tails. Another wild-caught product made in Scottish seas for all to enjoy and one of my personal favourites.”
Amity Fish Company supply the finest Scottish seafood available, direct to homes and businesses across the UK, delivering from shore to door from their base in Peterhead, Europe’s largest white fishing port.
