About Project Ocean
The ocean is a source of food, a place for recreation, and its beauty has inspired countless artists. But, it’s under threat – from over-fishing and poor fishing practices.
From 11 May – 12 June 2011, Selfridges is partnering with more than 20 environmental and conservation groups to celebrate the beauty of the ocean, highlight the issue of over-fishing, help us all understand the threats to the ocean and make positive choices about the right fish to buy and eat.
There’s a huge amount going on in Selfridges flagship London store including:
· Live cooking demonstrations in the Food Hall from top chefs like Tom Aikens, Linda Dangoor and Bruno Loubet (with recipe suggestions and wine recommendations online)
· Innovative exhibitions by sculptor Jason Hackenwert, fashion curator Judith Clarke and conceptualist artist Beth Derbyshire
· Talks by leading thinkers
· Workshops for kids, offering interactive arts and crafts and educational pieces

If, like me you can’t make it to London during this time there are still plenty of ways in which you can support the cause…Selfridges has some amazing merchandise such as tees by Katharine Hamnet
For more information, ways to donate and which fish are good to eat pop along to the Selfridges website.
Some of the less well known varieties of fish are truly delicious; get brave and try pilchards, tilapia or rainbow trout. Trust me.
Have you been along to Selfridges? What do you think?

I was contacted by PR to write this post. I am aware it’s not the kind of thing I usually post about but it is a cause I believe in and support. Please respect that.
