Thanks Peter for all you have done. I know I am not alone in being helped by your going way beyond the bounds of duty when I was a young and inexperienced fish technologist, back in Stranraer in 1979. You wrote me many long and detailed letters on how to set up my experiments and analyse the data, patiently answering all my questions, and brought me to your laboratory in Aberdeen to work with you. Your humanity and openness are a guiding beacon in my career, as they are to many others'. Thankyou.

"Peter Howgate says...." is an often used phrased when it comes to Seafood technology and food safety issues no matter where you are in the world. We have so much to thank Peter for. To enable this information to be shared for the betterment of everyone in the industry and the world's seafood consumers is fantastic. Having retired in 1989 that could easily have been the end of all we ever heard of Peter but he has shown us all is that his role at TRS was not just a job but a massive part of his life and his desire to share his incredible knowledge and experience with us all has been overwhelming. THANK YOU...

I worked with Peter at Torry Research Station for 18 years, as well as on a DANIDA project in Sri Lanka. When climbing with him in the Cairngorms I found him a wonderful close neighbour when one has to be cantilevered, single handed, off rocks embedded in snow!
Hello Peter,
You were with us at The Federal Dept. Of Fisheries, Nigeria as an FAO Consultant in the early 80s. You were very conscientious in your work with us. I am really happy to know that you are continuously being honoured whilst alive. Congratulations.
