From ‘mussel popcorn’ through to treacle-cured salmon, a chef’s seafood dishes can be the pinnacle of their menu.
Thousands of chefs in certified restaurants across the UK serve sustainable seafood on a daily basis. Now, the gauntlet has been thrown down to show the world just how good they are.
Hannah Arcaro, UK Foodservice Manager for the MSC says: “With over 120 fisheries across the world now certified, we know that there’s a wealth of delicious MSC recipes being cooked up in kitchens across the country and we want to know about them!
“We’re looking for an exciting and inspirational dish that tastes delicious. The winning recipe will be one that can be re-created by an experienced home cook in under an hour and use ingredients that are readily available to UK shoppers. That will mean the recipe can help to promote sustainably sourced seafood when dining out and at home.
Judging and prizes
The judges – to be announced nearer the final – will choose a shortlist of three entries to compete in a ‘cook-off’ and tasting at the MSC’s UK Commercial meeting in November 2011 with the winner announced on the day. Prizes include a trip for two to the Shetland Islands shellfish fishery - currently going through MSC assessment.
How to enter
Entrants must work at an MSC certified restaurant in the UK. Once you have come up with your recipe, fill out the application form and submit, with a photo of your entry, to recipecompetition@msc.org by 14th October 2011.
