The celebrity like Phil Vickery, Nick Nairn, Brian Turner, Mitch Tonks, Jo Pratt and Raymond Blanc have all already signed up to get involved in Seafood Fortnight, which will run from 5 – 21 September. It is said that during the festival the celebrity chefs will be contributing new and delicious seafood recipes to help increase awareness of how easy it can be for everyone to eat their recommended ‘2 a week’.
Commenting on this Phil Vickery said it is honour to be in the festival that supplies us with a vast array of fish and shellfish. With so many delicious species available, consumers have an abundance of tasty seafood to choose from wherever they are in the country! He also said that the Seafood Fortnight gives everyone the perfect opportunity to try some new seafood dishes in restaurants and kitchens across the country.
According to nutritionists everyone should aim to eat a minimum of two portions of seafood every week, as it is an excellent source of protein and also provides essential vitamins and minerals. It is obvious that Seafood Fortnight has the right platform for the industry to boost consumer awareness of the many benefits seafood offers and drive sales, and remind customers of the importance of eating sustainably sourced species.
