About this episode

The episode discusses the journey of fish from ocean to plate, focusing on sustainable fishing practices and the role of small-scale fishers.

How much does the label on the packaging tell us about a fish's journey from ocean to plate? This week, Hannah Stitfall speaks to Dr Bryce Stewart, a marine ecologist and fisheries biologist, about sustainable fishing practices. Including the develeopment of lab grown fish. And, we hear from Caroline Bennett, the founder and director of Sole of Discretion. This collective of small scale fishers in Plymouth are committed to procuring fish and shellfish that have been caught with as little damage to the marine environment as possible.
