Group promotes hand caught fish

A team of fishermen have made a trip to London to persuade the city's most expensive restaurants that hand caught fish is best.

Sea bass landed on the quayside at Newlyn in Cornwall is already sold at one of the most famous seafood sales floors, the Billingsgate Fish Market.

On Wednesday, a team of hand-liners from Cornwall will promote their hand-caught bass to top restaurateurs.

The team guarantees traceability of fish from the sea to the dinner plate.

The South West Handline Fishermen's Association has claimed fish caught in this way is regarded by many as more sustainable than controversial pair-trawling methods, which are widely blamed by some conservationists for dolphin deaths.
