THE TUNA TRUTH

In The Tuna Truth, TV chef, Serena Appleby, uncovers the truth about tuna fishing, from destructive industrial fisheries to sustainable solutions, and serves up delicious bites along the way. Featuring sustainable restauranters in the UK and fishing communities in the Azores, Serena’s journey teaches viewers how to make more informed choices about the seafood we eat.

 

Serena is a Filipino-British TV chef and presenter, known for shows like ITV’s Ainsley Harriot’s National Trust Cook Off and  BBC3 Hungry For It series, making it to the finals. Her award-winning pop-up, Kring Kringz, fuses Northern comfort food with Filipino flavour.
