What is Seafood Academy?
Located in scenic St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Seafood Academy is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about the entire lifecycle of farmed salmon from egg to plate from industry experts, scientists and renowned chefs.
We’ll take you outside the classroom, into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and behind the scenes of processing plants and hatcheries—with plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning and making industry contacts.
