Chef Dan Barber discusses a dilemma facing many chefs today: how to keep fish on the menu. With impeccable research and humour, he chronicles his pursuit of a sustainable fish he could love and has enjoyed since discovering a delicious fish raised using a revolutionary farming method in Spain.

Only buy fish friendly and from sustainable sources - M&S are a leader for reliable shopping.
The World Retail Awards recognise and reward outstanding achievements in the industry at the global level.
The judges recognised the scale of achievement of Plan A, M&S’ 180 commitment eco and ethical programme, in making the company’s operations carbon neutral, sending zero waste to landfill and its commitment to develop more sustainable products, help its customers live more sustainable lives and engage with its employees.
M&S CEO Marc Bolland collected the award and said: “It is our mission to engage millions of people in the journey to a world of more sustainable consumption through customer initiatives like Shwopping. Eco-friendly, multi-channel shops like our new Cheshire Oaks store are the future. Plan A is how we do business at M&S - it involves our customers, our employees, our suppliers and our supplier’s suppliers. We are fully committed to it”

At M&S, we’ve already had a sustainable fishing policy for 12 years and now we’re taking it even further, with our Forever Fish campaign. Over 90% of all the wild fish we sell comes from the most sustainable sources available to us, such as those certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, and we’re working with WWF to ensure that all our other fisheries will have the most sustainable practices in place too. Through partnerships with WWF and the Marine Conservation Society plus special education programmes, the plan is to take the lead in protecting our sea life and beaches.
Please support M&S, WWF & the MCS
