Where have all the Fish Gone???

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Some of you will remember that about six months ago we sponsored the viewing of a movie called the ‘end of the line’ at a cinema in Christchurch. We were joined by the producer ‘Claire Lewis’ and held a Q and A session at the end of the movie.

It’s a very hard hitting film about fish, fishing and the state of our oceans. It had a dramatic effect on how we do business and how we source the fish that we sell.

I can’t recommend enough that you take a look, draw your own conclusions and eat fish responsibly. If you get a bit depressed halfway through, hang in there, since it does get a bit more positive by the end as to what we can actually do and what is getting better.

I don’t think enjoy is probably the right word, but take a look and be interested at least.

Details of the screening are below:

Rupert Murray’s acclaimed film looks at the imminent, devastating consequences of unchecked, unregulated sea fishing across the globe.

Live music on Wednesday nights is back for 2010 from the 20th January. Through the colder months we’ll be up in the restaurant with some relaxed and atmospheric entertainment from some pretty darn talented musicians. We’ll make sure that the entertainment adds an extra touch of atmosphere to the evening without drowning out the conversation!

Starting us off is the ever impressive Steve Banks with his melodic and jazzy interpretations on all manner of songs. Followed on the 27th by Phil Dewhurst.
