The Global Seafood Alliance, through its Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification program, has partnered with leading UK food platform Great British Chefs to launch an educational campaign designed to increase awareness and understanding of responsible seafood sourcing among both culinary professionals and home cooks.
The Global Seafood Alliance x Great British Chefs initiative, which began on June 15, features recipes showcasing seafood from five BAP-certified producers — Hiddenfjord, I.D.I Corp, Kilic Seafood, The Kingfish Company, and Regal Springs Tilapia — and includes contributions from award-winning chef Jude Kereama, who demonstrates both approachable home-cooking techniques and elevated culinary applications for professional chefs. The campaign content includes educational reels and a newly released Chef's Guide to BAP that aims to inform audiences about the comprehensive standards behind the BAP label, which covers environmental responsibility, social accountability, food safety, and animal welfare throughout the aquaculture supply chain.
