A new study shows that millions of Britons could be ready to swap imported fish for home caught favourites like sardines, sprats and anchovies.

The new report reveals that more than 40 per cent of consumers are willing to experiment with fish they’ve never tried before.  The study suggests the UK is overlooking a major opportunity to improve national health and bolster local economies by embracing its own rich stocks of small, nutritious fish.

And the team say that now is the perfect time for Britain to rediscover its local seafood.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an innovative energy storage system design that introduces a safer, more efficient method for electrical charge transfer. This study advances fundamental understanding of how functional groups impact the mechanical and electrochemical performance of highly charged polyelectrolyte membranes — thin, charged polymer sheets that help control the movement of ions in energy devices.
