COMPETITION ENTRIES

I was overwhelmed with the response we received to the competition. I had no idea there were so many fellow fish nerds out there! I was expecting to be discarding entries for inaccuracies, but instead you were all spot on, and I'm having to make difficult decisions about choosing a winner. It's a complicated subject and you all did so well – can I say that I'm proud of you ? !
"Salmon, Tuna, Cod, Haddock & Prawns" is the answer to the question 'what are the top 5 species that make up 80 per cent of fish consumed in the UK?'

The winner of the tie breaker question was Ben Lloyd, with "By choosing to eat an under-utilised species I am …………………filling my stomach and the sea!"
