Illustrated talk by local fisherman Rupert Drury marking the return of bluefin tuna to the North East coast, followed by a two-course supper.
The Tunny Club is hosting an evening celebrating the return of the bluefin tuna to the North East coast on Thursday 12 November, starting at 18:00. It's a fish that sat at the heart of Scarborough's maritime heritage, and the club itself was the original 19th hole for the town's tunny fishermen back in the day, so the setting fits the subject.
The night is built around a talk by Rupert Drury, a local fisherman who also fishes internationally. In August 2024, he landed the first North Sea bluefin tuna recorded in 71 years, and he'll be talking through the history of the fish and its return to these waters with an illustrated talk to go with it.
There's a supper involved, too. The evening kicks off at The Tunny Club (1 East Sandgate, YO11 1PE), then moves to the nearby Golden Grid for the meal, with the talk to follow. The supper is two courses, with bluefin tuna as the main.
