Pointing the Fish Finger?

The British are generally very conservative, when it comes to eating seafood. Eighty percent of their consumption, consists of cod; haddock; salmon; tuna and prawns. Currently, 10% of annual global fishery catches consist of species that are then thrown away or used as bait. The Plymouth Fish Finger project hopes to change all that (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/aug/18/fish-finger-sandwich-plymouth-project-rebrand-rejected-catch-for-schools). Fifty species of fish are regularily caught by fishing boats in South-West England. Some are sent abroad, whereas others sell locally for as little as 20p per kilogram. The Plymouth Fish Finger project intends making this 'child-friendly delicacy' from lesser known species. Species would include pouting and dogfish. Plymouth (Devon, England) schools could soon be getting this product for school meals. Fish fingers would be markedly cheaper, but probably just as healthy as the cod-containing version. Using locally-caught fish, also reduces the product's 'carbon footprint', as well as cutting food waste. This kind of initiative could/should be adopted on a much wider scale. So long as the kids like the new products, it's a win-win!
