FIND A FISH DISH
02.08.2011

The Cardiff Harbour Festival takes place over August Bank Holiday weekend (Aug 27 - 29) and Jamie's Italian in the city have teamed up with Cardiff Harbour Authority to launch a competition to find a fish dish that we can put on our Special's menu AND the winning dish will be cooked for visitors at the festival.
The competition was launched in mid July by Jamie's Italian chef, Dom Ashworth, along with Nick Woods, the current British Fish Craft Champion.  It aims to find a dish with Italian flavour, in line with their existing menu and which complements the Jamie Oliver crusade against the ocean's endangered species.
The winning recipe will be featured on the special's board in the Cardiff Jamie's Italian plus the winner will be treated to dinner for 2 at the restaurant and be put up in a hotel for the night.  Entries should be sent to events@cardiff.gov.uk by August 21st.  There are more details at www.cardiff-festival.com
Cll. Nigel Howells, Executive Member for Sport, Leisure and Culture said: it's great to work with Jamie's Italian on this exciting opportunity for all the budding Jamie Olivers out there.  It's also a great link to the Cardiff Harbour Festival which will once again attract many thousands to the waterfront over the Bank Holiday weekend.  
The winning recipe will be judged by a panel of experts.  General Manager of Jamie's Italian in Cardiff, Mary Needham said "Jamie is promoting an awareness of 'the fish we should be eating' and a more educated approach to how we think about fish.  The idea is that by using a wider variety of fish, sea levels will remain balanced and we will not see a massive depletion of the most popular, or well known fish, as we are seeing at the moment.  It's a great opportunity to work with Cardiff Council to promote this message.  The winning recipe must be of a good, simple rustic Italian theme, with a source of origin, and a reason why they are using that particular fish."
