Categories relevant to the hospitality industry include: the Sustainable Future Award; the Seafood Restaurant of the Year Award; the Seafood Pub of the Year Award; and the Seafood Chef of the Year Award.

The 2009 Seafood Awards will culminate in a black-tie event on Thursday 21 May 2009 at the Marriott Grosvenor Square in London.
