Quintessential Saturday night viewing saw a change in tack this week, as the prawn industry took to the stage.

Dispatches’ “Fish Unwrapped,” (aired 15/01/2011, 7:05pm) was the latest in Channel 4’s “Big Fish Fight,” campaign. The series, aided by food champions and celebrity chef characters, Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Gordon Ramsey, aimed to unveil problematic and controversial issues within the fishing industry. “Fish Unwrapped,” saw Alex Thompson delve into the supermarket and high street fishing industry, trailing the source, journey and process of fish we eat daily.

The Dispatches report unearthed concerns that were not alien under the EuroFoods radar.
