WORLD OCEAN DAY 6TH JUNE

To celebrate World Ocean day, we are championing sustainable fishing

30% OF GLOBAL FISH STOCKS ARE OVEREXPLOITED. 60% ARE FULLY EXPLOITED.
TO MARK WORLD OCEANS DAY, RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX CHEFS ARE DEMONSTRATING THEIR LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING MARINE RESOURCES AND FIGHTING OVERFISHING AND OUT OF SEASON.

Michael is passionate about the subject and knows sustainability is essential: “Our role is to raise awareness among customers and the up-and-coming generations of chefs about sustainable fishing, the importance of sourcing local, and ‘zero-kilometer’ cooking.” He describes his estuary menu, the one he finds the most meaningful and that lets him have some fun: “When it comes to cooking, that’s all that matters to me: how to be creative with what I have at hand – scorpionfish, eel, cuttlefish, red mullet – without making what people expect to eat in a fine restaurant, which is generally high-end fish that are often not in season and, worse, usually threatened species.”

To celebrate the day we have put together a special menu to champion fish that are in season and sustainable to fish, using only those that are local to our waters to continue to uphold our ethos of local produce. We continue to work closely with our fish suppliers and fishermen to protect our waters and stocks around us.
