Cornish tuna in the vanguard of sustainable eating campaign.

Quentin Knights, skipper of the Cornish tuna boat, Ben Loyal.

Eating Out magazine ran a story on just how the catering world is set to deal with the demand for sustainably caught sea food.

"M&J Seafood has been promoting albacore tuna caught off the Cornish coast. It has an exclusive agreement with two Cornish boats to take the majority of their catch for the UK foodservice sector. Last year it supplied about 45 tonnes and this year will be a similar amount. Berthet says albacore offers chefs a responsible alternative to bluefin and a slightly different presentation to yellowfin, but it is a different fish altogether and more suited to cooking rather than raw for sushi. This year M&J decided to put any trim left over into albacore fish cakes."
