Faroese Salmon Farmer Condemns Slaughter of Dolphins – Why is Rick Stein’s Supplier of Faroese Farmed Salmon Silent?

 

 

Rick Stein continues to remain silent on which farms in the Faroes he sources salmon from – his online shop merely states that "the salmon is sourced from two salmon farms in the Faroe Islands".

 

Stein Faroes

 

 

 

Stein sources his Faroese salmon from Severn & Wye:

 

Severn #1

 

 

Severn #2

Severn #3

 

 

 

In April 2021, Rick Stein was forced to admit his salmon came from farms in the Faroes following a complaint to Trading Standards.

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Faroese salmon farmer Bakkafrost (owner of The Scottish Salmon Company) has publicly condemned the slaughter of dolphins in the Faroes.

Scottish Salmon Watch has asked celebrity chef Rick Stein to stop flogging Faroese salmon and sign a petition calling on the UK Government to suspend the Free Trade Agreement with the Faroes.

Rick Stein will be giving an 'inspiring' talk tonight (22 September 2021) at Birkenhead School.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As it happens, I'm an old boy of Birkenhead School and this morning wrote to the headmaster:

 

From: Don Staniford <salmonfarmingkills@gmail.com>

Subject: Meeting today with Rick Stein?
To: <enquire@birkenheadschool.co.uk>
 
As an Old Birkonian I am seriously alarmed that Birkenhead School is promoting Rick Stein as 'inspiring' in a talk tonight.
 
Rick's role in supporting Faroese farmed salmon is shameful not inspiring and his deception was exposed by the BBC and Mail Online earlier this year:
 
 
 
I would like to ask Birkenhead School and Rick Stein to support a petition calling on the UK Government to suspend the Free Trade Agreement with the Faroes:
 
Would you be able to arrange a meeting with Rick before his talk tonight?  It would help save face if Rick could make a public pledge to stop sourcing farmed salmon from the Faroes and to sign into the UK petition.
 
As a pupil of Birkenhead School – I was fortunate to be taught by the Welsh rugby legend John Gwilliam – the desire for truth and justice was drummed into me at a young age.   Before leaving Birkenhead School in 1989 it was an honour to be a prefect, head of Davis's house and cross country captain.  I remember taking exams in Bushell Hall where Rick Stein is speaking tonight.  I would hate for Birkenhead School's good reputation to be dragged into the gutter along with Rick Stein.   
 
I live in Heswall and would be happy to meet at your convenience any time before the event tonight.   
 
Yours sincerely,
