Restaurants lose 69 fish species due to over-fishing fears

RESTAURANTS will no longer be able to include 69 fish species on their menus after contract caterers said it will no longer provide them due to fears of over-fishing.

Catering firm Compass Group confirmed yesterday that they were imposing the ban over growing environmental concerns.

Compass provides food to thousands of restaurants and food outlets in Britain and also here in Ireland, including a deal to provide food to the redeveloped Lansdowne Road Aviva Stadium.
