Sustainably Caught Fish

Sustainably Caught Fish

All our sustainable fish products are supplied by the Cornish Fish Co: a passionate team with vast local knowledge and experience in the fishing industry. Their business was built around supporting local day boats, owned by local families that have fished for generations, working from Looe and surrounding ports. We have focused on providing a small and consistent range of delicious fish stock that we are able to replenish throughout the year.

It is paramount that our fish is sustainably sourced for the management of our marine ecosystems and respecting stock levels to ensure overfishing does not occur. Being just 20 metres from the quayside, their fish is bought directly from local fishermen & processed between 6 & 12 hours of being caught, dependent on the tides. Whether you go for old favourites like haddock and plaice, or mix things up with gurnard or hake, not only you can be assured that the fish you're eating is of the highest quality, but that it has been sustainably fished too.

FAQs

  • Sustainable fishing is important in the management of our marine ecosystems, in order to respect fish stock levels and ensure overfishing does not occur. With fish being one of the most popular choices of animal proteins at mealtimes, its no wonder that popular fish species such as cod are in decline. Overfishing to meet the demands of the consumer have meant certain stocks of fish have gone into decline, the demand has been so high that the fish stocks have not be given time to replenish. It is said that 1/3rd of fish stocks are overfished, which really is quite shocking. Sustainable fishing allows fisheries to work closely with scientists to look at the patterns of growth and decline of fish stocks, these occur through births, deaths and migration. By analysing this data, the ‘maximum sustainable yield’ (this is how much a fish species can be fished before overfishing occurs) is calculated and this allows responsible fishing to occur, working with nature, instead of against it.

  • We’ve become a little bit set in our ways over the years with our ‘go-to’ fish choices; cod, haddock, tuna, salmon and warm-water prawns, but this has really jeopardised their sustainability. There are many alternative species available for us to try that have been farmed or caught responsibly, hake, corley, rainbow trout, mackerel and rope grown mussels are all great choices of sustainable fish in the UK.
