The MSC certified Hastings Fisherman’s Protection Society artisanal herring fishery has won the Billingsgate Seafood School Annual Sustainable Fish and Shellfish Award 2012.
Adam Whittle, Seafood Industry Consultant at Billingsgate School, said: "Every year this event keeps getting better. I am delighted that Hastings herring won the audience's hearts. I have a real passion for these oil rich fish which are so good for us, taste delicious and affordable (only £8 for 6kg on Billingsgate Market today). All finalists provide us with great case studies to promote over the coming year. These species will refresh our curriculum within our schools education programme, classes for the general public and Industry training courses."
