Colman's in South Shields has been described as "the nearest thing to an eco-chippy you're likely to find", a fish and chip restaurant which only serves wild fish from sustainable grounds, uses additive-free vegetable oil and sends its waste fat to be made into bio-fuel. Noted for its welcoming atmosphere, Colman's has featured regularly for the past few years in the Times' Top 10 UK Fish and Chip Shops, and was voted Best UK Takeaway at the BBC Food and Farming Awards 2007.
Acknowledged as one of the finest chefs in the world, Raymond Blanc's commitment to sustainably sourced seafood led him to sign up as a supporter of Seafood See Life right from day one, and to be a guest speaker when the the campaign launched with an event at Old Billingsgate fishmarket earlier this year.
Why is sustainability so important to him? "Protecting the diversity of fish in our seas
is as important as looking after wildlife on land. Those of us who are
passionate about cooking and serving seafood will be equally passionate about
using only sustainable species, as the fish we cook and eat now will determine
what we have in the future."

Do you like eating fish? Did you realise that around 75 per cent of the world's
fish stocks are now fished to their limit or over-fished? While you can still eat some species of fish with a clear
conscience, others are being rapidly fished close to extinction. Oxford-based band Stornoway has helpfully recorded a song
that tells you which are which. 'The Good Fish Guide' is based on the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) guidelines
to ethical fish consumption. It will shortly be released as a downloadable single via the Truck label, an environmentally
proactive record label, with all profits to the MCS.
