Sarkozy Fish Dish 'Stinks'

Mar 30 2008

CHEF Raymond Blanc has been slammed for serving rare wild Scottish salmon to French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

The celebrity chef created a wild salmon with cod, cucumber and horseradish sauce starter for a dinner at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

But the Salmon and Trout Association (S&TA) accuse him of ignoring conservation fears.

Patrick Fothringham, director of Net Loss, the S&TA anti-netting campaign, said: "It is astonishing that Mr Blanc, always forthright about his green credentials, is so brazen as to serve up wild salmon."

A spokeswoman for Raymond Blanc said they were unable to contact the chef.
