M&J reports growth in gurnard sales

The volume of sales of alternative fish gurnard are on the rise, according to new figures from foodservice supplier M&J Seafood.

The fish and seafood company says its sales of gurnard have risen by 62% year on year, amid increasing awareness of alternative species among chefs and restaurateurs.

“We’ve been promoting the use of under-utilised species to chefs for years and encouraged the ban on sales of endangered fish species,” says Mike Berthet, director of fish and seafood at M&J.
