Taking the Fish Fight forwards - public support is growing!

Kudos to Channel 4 - viewing figures for Hugh's new series FishFight jumped above a new CSI on Channel 5 and almost beat a new series of Taggart on ITV - seems the folks at home are as interested in murdering fish as they are in another 'murrda'!.......

By Wednesday morning the number of online FishFight supporters joining the campaign to end discards had jumped from the 52,000 on Monday.......

to hit 90,000 by Thursday morning - at this rate the 100,000 mark should be reached by around 8pm Thursday evening.

In tonight's episode at 9pm on Channel 4, Hugh's fish fight takes him to Scotland, to the largest farmed salmon company in the world, then to Brussels and Westminster to try to and make some waves.


In order to add some urgency to his campaign, Hugh launches a website http://www.fishfight.net/, which goes viral, and picks up 24 000 supporters in just 24 hours. Fishermen from all over the country descend on Westminster to add their voices to the protest, which ends with a rallying cry to all of us to try to help sort out the mess our fisheries are in.


Hugh believes we all need to try and eat different types of fish, to relieve some of the pressure on cod, tuna and salmon, and we need to add OUR voices to the campaign to stop discards.

By 5pm on Thursday!.......

and by half five!

they just keep signing up!
