THE RIVER COTTAGE BOAT TRIP
Channel 4 / coming soon
Fish is one of the UK’s favourite foods – from sardines to smoked salmon, and cod to scampi – fish is tasty, healthy and often takes pride of place on Britain’s menus.
Yet with rapidly diminishing fish stocks there’s a crisis at sea. Some of our favourite fish are at risk of becoming endangered species, as is the British fishing industry as a whole.
So what’s a fish lover to do? Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall tackles this conundrum in The River Cottage Boat Trip as he sets sail to find alternative, delicious and sustainable seafood that fishmongers should be selling and we should be eating.
Starting from River Cottage HQ in the West Country, Hugh sails south to the Channel Islands and then north to the Hebrides. Both locations are marine life hotspots, where locals have long appreciated a vast array of seafood that their mainland cousins ignore.
This is the definitive River Cottage guide to fish. A fisherman’s tale of delicious dinners, lots of fishy facts and fantastic recipes. Oh, and a few pointers as to how the UK can head towards a sustainable future for our fish stocks.
