From Ecorazzi:
Top chefs Raymond Blanc and Tom Aikens will join forces with Greenpeace to urge the culinary world to support only sustainable seafood. The campaign begins tomorrow night at Old Billingsgate Fish Market in London, where celebrity chefs and food writers such as: Antonio Carluccio, Brian Turner and Rose Gray, will sign a pledge to stop using or promoting unsustainable fish species and to support the creation of marine reserves to help fish stocks recover. Along with the previously reported celebs, Michelin-starred chefs, Heston Blumenthal and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall have also jumped on the boat.
I really enjoy all the reality cooking shows: Top Chef, Next Food Network Star, etc. but every time there’s “Chilean sea bass” on the menu, I cringe. “Noooooo! Not the patagonian toothfish!” I whine. Hopefully this will turn the tides in the seas of the foodies. No more will ocean plundering proclamations cast chefs as culinary geniuses. Rather they’ll sound like uninformed poachers sieving the seas.
Kudos to these celeb chefs!
