Queenie Festival
The first Isle of Man Queenie Festival is taking place this year to celebrate one of the Island’s favourite local seafood, the Queen Scallop, or as it’s more commonly known on the Isle of Man, the Queenie.
The Queenie is fished from waters around the Isle of Man and has become somewhat synonymous with the Island, appearing on many menus in Manx restaurants. Queenies owe their popularity to their sweet taste, versatility and ease of cooking. They really are a healthy fast food option! So to celebrate the Isle of Man Queenie and to provide the perfect excuse to indulge yourselves, join us in our celebration from the 2nd - 9th August 2008.
The festival will come to a climax on Saturday 9th August on the Quay in Port St Mary for Marine Day. Marine Day promises to be a fantastic day out with a seafood barbecue, boat trips, live music, cooking demonstrations by the Hairy Bikers, talks from Marine experts, bouncy castles, art competition, face painting and plenty more. We will also announce the winners of our Queenie recipe competitions. A full schedule of events can be found on the Marine Day page.
