Fish for the future
Cod alternatives
Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives to cod. Rick Stein says: "There are enough fish species caught around the coasts of Britain for us to eat a different kind every week of the year, John Dory, megrim, gurnard, wolf fish and black bream to name but a few. By eating a wider variety of fish you will directly contribute to sustainable fisheries."
Henrietta Green, Good Food's local and speciality food consultant, agrees: "All too often we are put off by the name of fish. I love dab, for example. And do check out farmers' markets as in some areas you'll find good quality fishmongers who buy locally landed fish."
