AFTER trading for only a month, a new Penzance café, At Source, has been awarded a Mackerel Pin by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's Fish Fight team.
The TV chef's Fish Fight campaign, backed by Channel 4, aims to get more people eating British sustainable fish and includes a big push to have mackerel on the menu. As part of At Source's policy of only serving local seasonal food, the fish served in the increasingly popular cafe is strictly only landed in Newlyn and includes line-caught mackerel for most of the year. As well as using mackerel or other seasonal fish for the standard menu fish and chips, the daily Special's board offers fish dishes dependent on what has been landed each day.
In recognition of this sustainable fish policy, At Source has been awarded a pin on the map on the Fish Fight website and signage to promote the café as part of the campaign. "Sustainability is a large part of what we are about," said cafe owner Niky Keane. "We want to raise awareness of local, seasonal food by making no excuses for only being able to serve and sell what comes from Cornwall at any time of year. Our fish, vegetables and salads change almost daily in line with what local growers and fishermen can bring us."
