The ‘unique’ cookbook, which is free to download from the Marine Stewardship Council’s website, showcases each recipe alongside a fisherman who caught the species. The Scottish haddock recipe was created by restauranteur and UK MSC ambassador Mitch Tonks.
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an international non-profit organisation which sets globally recognised standards for sustainable fishing and the seafood supply chain.
Tonks said: “When you choose fish with the blue MSC ecolabel on, you can be absolutely sure where it has come from. Not only that, you are also protecting communities, livelihoods and the traditions of fishermen all around the world. Most importantly, making a sustainable choice means that we have fish for the future, and we all want that – right?”
Using seafood from MSC certified fisheries, the digital cookbook highlights how easy it is to create healthy and sustainable seafood dishes at home.
George Clark, MSC UK & Ireland programme director, added: “We know that more home cooks have enjoyed finding amazing new recipes online and digital cookbooks are a planet friendly way to [view] new MSC fish recipes in one place.
“We’re very proud to be working with top chefs from around the world who understand the importance of only using sustainable seafood. With this cookbook project, it’s been a unique opportunity for the fishers who harvest the 12 sustainable species, to work with the chefs who create these delicious dishes.”
