Hugh's Fish Fight: Save Our Seas documentary TV series on DVD.

River Cottage's self sufficency guru and chef is on a mission to save our oceans.

River Cottage’s Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall launches an audacious new campaign to protect more of the world’s oceans from destructive fishing methods, in an incredible journey that takes him from Antarctica to West Africa to the bottom of the sea.

Twelve months ago, Hugh exposed the outrageous practice of discards and the effects are still rumbling through the corridors of power in Europe. But the crisis in our seas does not stop there and Hugh’s Fish Fight is far from over.

It is estimated that 30% of all the fish caught worldwide is coming from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing vessels. Pirate fishermen are raping the oceans, clearing them of fish, and smuggling it onto our plates.

In his most daring and dangerous adventure yet, Hugh will get to grips with the enormous problem of illegal fishing; travel to the ends of the earth to reveal how our culinary demands are threatening some of the most remarkable marine habitats, and explore the shocking truth about the future of fish. With over 80% of our fish stocks already threatened, if we do nothing, by 2050 it could well be too late…
