Fishing for Change
Listen now
Description
Five seafood species make up 80% of what is consumed in the UK – while at the same time the vast majority of what is caught in UK waters gets exported. But is that trend beginning to shift? In this episode, Sheila Dillon hears how initiatives like the "Plymouth Fishfinger" are hoping to make more use of fish that has often been seen as ‘by-catch’, and how seafood festivals are working to connect the public with local seafood, and can even help regenerate coastal communities. She also hears how the Fish in Schools Hero programme is working to get young people to try more seafood, and shows how simple it can be to prepare. Also featured are Ashley Mullenger (@thefemalefisherman) and tv chef and campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Natalie Donovan.
