Isinglass – “a substance obtained from the dried swim bladders of fish. It is a form of collagen used mainly for the clarification of wine and beer. It can also be cooked into a paste for specialized gluing purposes.” (Thanks Wiki!) It is also a very nice Restaurant in Urmston that uses locally sourced seasonal food!
As part of my small/medium enterprise portion of footprints during my third placement I have been working with a lady that is very knowledgeable when it comes to starting and running businesses. She has been involved with the Sustainable Restaurant Association launch at the beginning of March 2010 and is keen to find ways to improve sustainability in her restaurant and surrounding community.
My recent work involved researching other companies that are currently running similar schemes, for example in America they have a Green Restaurant Certificate and many British restaurants are becoming more aware of the importance of ethical food and services. So next time you are in a restaurant look out for things like the Marine Stewardship Council, Carbon Trust Standard and soon to be Sustainable Restaurant Association membership!
