creator Jenny Jefferies is back with a new offering that shines a spotlight on the UK’s seafood community. Produced by Meze Publishing, For The Love Of The Sea takes readers on an informative, inspiring tour of the British fishing industry, highlighting the work of individuals and organisations through a series of interviews and beautiful recipes. “There is a real emotive sense of tradition, history and accomplishment throughout this book, which gives the stories and accompanying images lovely credibility and grace,” explains Jenny. She adds: “I hope this book helps to give thanks and praise to everyone who loves British seafood and works with the sea in whatever form – from fishing and farming to selling, cooking, preparing, managing, researching and fishing recreationally. “I also hope this book fairly represents the female voice within the British seafood industry: 90% of the people involved in the processing are women, 54% of the entire workforce are women, and more women than ever before are going out to sea.”
