Jamie Oliver’s Food Tube hero is more than just a recipe creator – Bart is on a mission to change how British people buy and eat fish. He seeks those fishermen and women who care for the ocean and fish responsibly. Why?

Over half of global fish stocks are being fished as hard as they can be, with a third overfished or depleted.

Should we eat less fish? asks Bart, Of course not, but we should make conscious choices. To ensure that we, and generations to come, can continue to enjoy fish we must make responsible choices. Responsibly sourced fish will have a MSC label, just look for the blue fish.

Bart actively promotes cooking with sustainable seafood on Jamie Oliver’s Food Tube channel, and travels the world looking for the stories behind the fish. His own range of fish products, Fish Tales, is MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certified.

Simple and accessible for the everyday cook, Bart’s Fish Tales contains recipes featuring fish caught in a particular country drawing on inspiration from the culinary traditions of that region. His message is simple: eating fish that is sustainably caught is the only way to ensure future generations will also be able to enjoy the finest and most delicious fish.
