Eco-friendly Fish Meal for Welsh Schools

Diet & Nutrition News
The MSC’s blue eco-label guarantees the fish were caught sustainably.
It is awarded to fisheries that have shown that they keep marine habitats intact, protect endangered species and do not contribute to over-fishing.
Apart from offering lunches with MSC-labelled fish, schools will also be running education programmes about the problems of over-fishing.
The eco-labelled dinners were launched this week.
Meals include oven-baked salmon nuggets, cod cakes, salmon fingers and fish fingers.
As well as eating eco-labelled fish, children will also learn about the problems of over-fishing through the MSC’s Fish & Kids project.
The programme aims to teach pupils how fish gets onto our plates – from ocean to oven – why it is good for us and why we are in danger of running out of fish.
Schools will use Fish & Kids materials to teach pupils about the need for a solution to the global problems of over-fishing to ensure there will always be enough fish to feed children in future.
MSC mascot Murdock the Fisherman’s Cat will visit all the launch schools during their lunchtime, to award prizes for work the pupils have done on the subject.
Carole Tyley, business manager of Vale Catering Services, which provides school meals in Vale of Glamorgan schools, said, “Fish can be something that is hard to get children to eat. We hope this gets the children interested.
