The ‘Fish in School Hero’ programme aims to ensure that every child gets a chance to prepare, cook and eat fish before they leave school.

In the last school year, via #FishHeroes, @AlaskaSeafoodUK donated lots (& lots) of cans of Alaskan pink salmon to 300 schools!

It enabled 1000s of pupils to cook with fish, especially oily fish, for the first time! 🧑‍🍳🐟🔪🍲

Our 'food' curriculum gives us a brilliant opportunity to broaden pupils’ food experiences.

By handling, preparing, cooking & tasting different fish, pupils can build confidence, develop practical skills and discover flavours they may not try at home.

Fish lessons turn 'I don’t like it' into 'I’ll give it a go.'

Fish can feel like a higher-risk ingredient, but that makes it a valuable learning opportunity.

With clear routines, pupils can learn how to handle, prepare and cook fish safely, including good hygiene, temperature control, avoiding cross-contamination, & cooling and refrigerating cooked food quickly.

Food safety is part of confident food teaching.

Fish can look, smell or taste unfamiliar to pupils, but that’s exactly why school food lessons matter.

🍲Stronger-tasting fish, such as oily fish, can work brilliantly in spicier dishes, dips and pâtés, making them more approachable.
🦑Squid, shellfish & mussels can also be introduced through demos, tasting and discussion, building confidence before pupils cook.

Fish may not be a familiar food for many pupils, especially where it isn’t often eaten at home.

There can also be misconceptions that fish is difficult to cook, too strong in flavour or not appealing.

But food lessons can change that.

By preparing, cooking and tasting fish in school, pupils can build confidence, challenge assumptions & discover simple, enjoyable ways to cook it.

Barriers to teaching fish? #FishHeroes can help. 🐟

From pupil confidence and food safety to cost, access and teacher CPD, the programme supports schools to make fish practical, manageable & engaging.

✅ Free CPD for teachers
✅ School resources
✅ Free fish for schools
✅ Simple, pupil-friendly recipe ideas

Including fish at KS3 helps normalise it early. Confidence grows when pupils see fish as an everyday ingredient, not something 'different'.
