With popular fish species like cod, haddock and tuna under threat, Jamie Oliver is joining with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Gordon Ramsey and Heston Blumenthal for Channel 4's Big Fish Fight.
In a series of bite-sized programmes, the chef is taking over the schedules with suppers to help save our seas. Jamie is convinced that people can make a difference, simply by cooking different things and types of fish and seafood – including mackerel, coley and dab – so that we won’t just be reaching for the old favourites during the weekly shop.
“I know you like your fish suppers, but our appetite for the same fish, day in, day out, is sucking the seas dry,” says Jamie. “Two-thirds of the wild fish that we eat are cod, haddock and tuna. Since the 1970s stocks of these three have dropped by up to 80%.
“I wouldn’t bother waiting for the politicians to sort this one out, guys, you can really help from the comfort of your own kitchen. People, just don’t be so boring! Lay off the cod, haddock and tuna, diversify and cook up a wider range of fish.
I love fish and I go in now and ask for different fish . I am laying off the cod and haddock and eating mackerel, coley and dab and loving them as much been doing all sorts and on the BBQ . Was sad seeing boats putting tones of dead fish back in the water .. its food not fish food .

When I was younger we used to have a chalet down at Selsey and one of the great delights was going down and buying the dabs straight off the boat. Back then there were just pennies, and cooked just fried in the pan with butter and lemon were delish
Crabs and whelks straight out of the boilers
Happy memories
Now we eat very little fish as it's only the supermarkets we can get it. I have friends who fish for trout , mackerel and salmon so they are my staples now
Looking forward to my algarve holiday, fish every day, yayyyy |

I don't eat much fish at all, maybe once a month if that so I'm doing my bit already! |

I like Simon Rimmer. Enjoy going to his place in Didsbury. Green's.
I am totally besotted by Nigel Slater.
Hugh is okay in small doses.
Used to love Floyd on fish ....
Rick thingy with the little dog ....
Heston is an artist .... love watching him....
But ... a cook is a cook is a cook.
I can't stand Jamie because his cooking is shite. His trick is to lecture and moralise. He's like the bloody smiling actors who turn up at hospitals. |
