The hunt begins to find best certified sustainable seafood recipe

Written by: Admin
The Marine Stewardship Council has launched a competition to find the best certified sustainable seafood recipe in the UK.
The judges – to be announced nearer the final – will choose a shortlist of three entries to compete in a 'cook-off' and tasting at the MSC's UK commercial meeting in November 2011 with the winner announced on the day. Prizes include a trip for two to the Shetland Islands shellfish fishery - currently going through MSC assessment. To enter, chefs must work at an MSC certified restaurant in the UK. Once they have come up with their recipe, they must fill out the application form below and submit, with a photo of their entry, to [email protected] by 14th October 2011. Hannah Arcaro, UK foodservice manager for the MSC, said: "With over 120 fisheries across the world now certified, we know that there's a wealth of delicious MSC recipes being cooked up in kitchens across the country and we want to know about them! "We're looking for an exciting and inspirational dish that tastes delicious. The winning recipe will be one that can be re-created by an experienced home cook in under an hour and use ingredients that are readily available to UK shoppers. That will mean the recipe can help to promote sustainably sourced seafood when dining out and at home." Entry forms can be downloaded from www.msc.org/cook-eat-enjoy/msc-recipe-of-the-year-entry-form
