British Fish & Seafood with CJ Jackson

Welcome back to the British Food History Podcast. In this episode of the podcast, I am speaking with fish and seafood cookery expert CJ Jackson, author of *The Great British Seafood Revival,* published by Merlin Unwin We talk about cod alternatives like coley and hake; the loss of the street fishmonger; sustainability; fish farms, and whether they are a good thing; the future of Billingsgate Market; and my old fear of bivalves, amongst many other things. Those listening to the secret podcast get to hear about the popularity of seaweed and disco scallops!
