A really very enjoyable DVD from the marvellous Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall. Trips to the Channel Islands & the Scottish Isles, to catch,prepare & eat, a whole range of fishy delights, highlight the diversity of more sustainable fish options open to the consumer.
Some of the fish & fish dishes featured on this DVD are not your average cod & chips. This is a really excellent effort by Hugh to higlight the more environmentally sensitive alternatives, to the fish we normally eat.
A real must for the seafood fans amongst us & particularly those with a concern about dwindling fish stocks.If you are an angler, particularly a sea angler, then there would be something for you in this DVD too, as Hugh & his mates set off to sea to do some serious fishing.
A slightly different approach to sea food to that adopted by the magnificent Rick Stein but every bit as enjoyable.
Great recipes & marvellous presenting from Hugh - a return to form after the fairly disappointing River Cottage Road Trip DVD - highly recommended.

I liked these programmes when they were first shown on Channel 4 and the range of fishing is abound in these programmes...I especially like the situation in the Channel Islands when how to catch a particular type of fish was done by a local and Hugh & Co were simply left to accept that they were being beaten by a simple rod and line from the quayside and not from a chartered boat.
Not only can and do recommend this DVD...but also recommend another by the River Cottage team in : 'Catch and Cook with Hugh and Nick'...which also is a fishing DVD but will go a little more in depth with fishing and then cooking the catch.
While Hugh may not go in depth of the various types of rods available and all the tackle to go with it and then the range of bait that can be used and also what to wear and what not to wear...both Gone Fishing and Catch & Cook are there to whet your appetite of going fishing and also eating more types of fish than Cod from the local chippy.

in which the ever watchable HUGH presents three episodes designed to highlight the inescapable fact that fish stocks are dwindling BUT that there are alternatives...it is us, the consumer, who will drive demand for the alternatives, just as the U.K. has done with free range eggs...we need to be asking for coley, pouting, mullet and the rest...entertaining, thought provoking and informative
