Hi everyone,
Just got this in:
Charles Jardine to go Fishing for Food during first annual British Food Fortnight
The Countryside Alliances Campaign for Angling Director, Charles Jardine, is to spend the first British Food Fortnight fishing for different types of fish all over the UK.
The celebration of British Food begins on October 26th and Charles will spend the entire fortnight on the road. Various angling celebrities will join him over the course of the fortnight, helping him cook the fish for the public and also raising the profile of home-caught fish as a healthy addition to the family diet.
Charles Jardine commented, Fishing for Food will be a gruelling fortnight in which I hope to catch everything from bass to mackerel, grayling to salmon, and show people how to cook them. As well as being great fun to catch, British fish are a varied and wonderful bunch, delicious to eat and incredibly good for you. I am looking forward to joining forces with the likes of John Wilson, Bob James and Keith Arthur at venues all over Britain from Wales to Cornwall to Cambridgeshire, so anyone who can come along to see how to catch (I hope! or I will be very hungry indeed at the end of the two weeks!) and cook British fish should come and see us. You can also hear a tape specially recorded for us by DJ and television presenter Chris Tarrant. Chris has been kind enough to wish British Food Fortnight well even though he cant help me to Fish for Food.
He continued, I am delighted to be taking part in British Food Fortnight. It will highlight all the great food right under our noses and encourage the average British consumer to support his or her local economy by buying British. I think this is a great message and hope I can persuade people to get out there, fishing not just for the sheer pleasure it gives, but the very real and excellent food it provides of course you got to catch them first! Ill be taking a packet of sausages just in case!
I must add he is only fishing in sea, rivers and estuaries so it looks like the puddles are safe [
]
Come to think of it what species of fish have you all eaten?
I'll start with mine and marks out of 10
Eel (Smoked) - 8/10
Trout (Grilled, poached, boiled, roast, baked, fried, etc - used to work on Trout Farms lol) 5/10
Salmon - 4/10
Whilst abroad:
Carp - (OMG) 6/10
Tench (smoked) 7/10
Pike (cakes) 8/10
Gudgeon (grilled) 4/10
and a multitude of sea fish the best being fresh caught Mackeral
