Saturday is St Andrew’s Day and, all over Scotland, all sorts of visitor attractions are celebrating the event with free entry, 2-4-1s and kids go free deals. You can browse them all here.

Of course, if you are going to celebrate St Andrew’s Day then eating Scottish food seems like a good way to crown the event. Below we have a mighty fine recipe for a smoked haddock bake which was created by Adam Newth. Other St Andrew’s Day recipes using Scottish ingredients can be found here.

Young Seafood Chef of the Year

Chef Newth was recently crowned Scotland’s Young Seafood Chef of the Year. Starting out as a student at Angus College, Adam Newth moved to Edinburgh in 2008 to take up his first commis chef position at the Circus Wine Bar and Grill.

Chef de partie roles at the Seafood Restaurant in St Andrews and at number 1 at the Balmoral Hotel followed before Adam took up his current role at Angels with Bagpipes, where he has been since 2012.

At 22, Adam Newth is both the Young Scottish Chef of the Year and Young Scottish Seafood Chef of the Year – both awarded this year.

New Dundee restaurant

Adam will be opening a new restaurant in Dundee in early 2014.

This is a twist on the traditional fish bake, and includes healthy ingredients that are easy to find and simple to cook for a family meal. The dish has Scottish North Sea haddock as its ‘hero’ ingredient.
