Jim Portus, who manages the event and chairs the organising committee, said: "All appears to be ready for a fantastic celebration of fishing and seafood, with chefs demonstrations, cookery classes for children and a mix of musicians and performers that will knock your socks off.

"We're marking 150 years of fish and chips and the International Year of the Seafarer, as well as celebrating the wonderful fishing and seafood industries based in South Devon.

"By charging the public a very modest entry fee, we are hoping to raise funds for the local and regional welfare work of the Fishermen's Mission".

Doors will open on Saturday at 10am, with bands, food tasting and cooking demonstrations.
