It is not surprising that the identity of the Faroese salmon farmer supplying Rick Stein with non-boutique farmed salmon appears hidden from  public view – the Faroe Islands hardly has a good reputation as viewers of Netflix's 'Seaspiracy' will know.

Sea Shepherd UK reported in March 2021 on calls for a boycott of Faroese seafood products.

Scottish Salmon Watch wonders if Rick Stein is now going to start selling 'boutique' whale meat sourced from the "truly stunning" Faroe Islands.

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,
