River Cottage - Catch & Cook

[Pugs]

hmmmm, he was the guy who took over 50 odd Bass :mad: . No pleasant ideas spring to mind.

 

However see my thread and contribute if possible....

Supporting local producers gets my vote aswell but like I said lets hope he's learned his lesson - what a great sight it would be to see them setting an example returning the majority of what they catch to the spawning stock and to fight another day. That would be something worth watching and go some way to making amends for what they did before.

@SPRING@ is spot on. Have a word with him about BASS and the BMP. Tell him what its like in America.

[Jaffa]

Love the River cottage shows and the whole ethos behind them. Sounds like a great day out Fearthehands and I look forward to your report.

 

He screwed up with the Bass, but compared with all he's done to encourage people to think about local food, I can forgive him that one.

 

He's certainly a subversive antidote to the sugary PETA agenda that gets so much TV time...

FTH.

It seems most of the Weymouth fleet are wrecking next Monday. So don`t have a large greasy breakfast!

Hugh's books do stress conservation and taking fish from sustainable local stocks.

Contrast that with the average TV chef who would serve up fillet of mahseer flown halfway round the world and stress the cachet of rarity value, high price and the fact that as that particular stock was hovering on the brink of extinction you and your chums would probably be the last ones to eat a slice!

Give Nick Fisher my regards

 

I did a couple of Dirty Tackle programmes with him, one on mullet at Sun Pier.

 

Phil Whitings write up of that session makes a good read. See here:

Excellent, hope you have a great day out mate,

 

I am rather jealous, Hugh is almost god like in my eyes, after only the great keith Floyd

[Bob on Stronsay]

I would keep a sharp lookout if those two (Hugh and Nick) get together. They both have a liking for taking their clothes off on TV shows.

 

Be very careful out there.

Have a great day Glenn, give my regards to Pat.

[Elton]

Sounds like a great day out.
