This month saw the Marine Stewardship Council visit the Hotelympia event at the Excel centre. They were there as part of the Good Catch alliance which brings together the MSC, the Marine Conservation Society, the Seafood Choices Alliance and Sustain.
The event lasted for 5 days and the Good Catch had a stand to talk to all sorts of people from the foodservice industry about sustainable seafood choices and their business. Chefs from Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant were on hand to provide live demonstrations of working with sustainable fish and the winner of this years Sustainable Fish and Chips award also made an appearance.

However, after he injured his leg his Head Chef at Le Manoir, Gary Jones stepped in. To see Emily and Gary in action and hear about Le Manoir’s work click here.
