Families who regularly enjoy regular fish and fish suppers are being advised to scale back, as haddock has joined cod and plaice on a list of fish which should be eaten as a "very occasional treat".
The Marine Conservation Society has today revealed it has relegated haddock from the North Sea and West Scotland from its recommended "green" list of fish to eat.
Around 80pc of the UK's haddock is caught in the North Sea and West Scotland area, meaning the majority of fish and chip shops and restaurants are likely to be affected by the change. Telegraph.
GREAT NEWS FOR OUR FISH! - BREXIT!
Provided that our Theresa reclaims our coastal waters (and why wouldn't she?) all our fish stocks can be rapidly revived. The appalling overfishing of our territorial waters MUST end and PDQ!
As these whitefish are granted time to recover - might I suggest that fish shops are given governmental inducements for, say, 5 years - to start offering pollock on the menu, as it is a very decent, tasty fish - and if I understand correctly from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall et al - is actually thriving.
