Fish Focus has teamed up with CJ Jackson and Merlin Unwin Books to give readers the chance to win a signed copy of the inspiring new book The Great British Seafood Revival.
In this beautifully produced volume, food writer and seafood educator CJ Jackson joins forces with veteran photographer Steve Lee to create a vivid and engaging celebration of Britain’s rich fishing heritage and the incredible seafood landed around our coasts.
Part cookbook, part coastal journey, The Great British Seafood Revival invites readers to look beyond the familiar “big five” seafood species – cod, haddock, salmon, tuna and prawns – and discover the remarkable variety of fish and shellfish available from British waters. Through accessible recipes, fascinating stories from fishing communities, and stunning photography from harbours around the UK, the book shines a spotlight on lesser-known species such as coley, megrim and ling, proving they can be both delicious and sustainable choices in the kitchen.
CJ draws on years of experience promoting seafood education and sustainable eating, making the book both informative and approachable. Each chapter combines practical cooking advice with insights into the traditions, challenges and resilience of Britain’s fishingi ndustry. The result is a book that not only inspires readers to cook more seafood, but also deepens their appreciation of the people and places behind every catch.
The striking photography from Steve Lee brings the story to life, capturing everything from working fishing boats and coastal landscapes to beautifully prepared seafood dishes.
Together, the words and images create a powerful reminder of the cultural and culinary importance of Britain’s coastal waters.
Whether you are a keen cook, a seafood lover, or simply interested in Britain’s maritime traditions, The Great British Seafood Revival offers a fresh and engaging perspective on the seafood we too often overlook.
