Project Ocean: ‘Kids in the kitchen’ best fish dish competition

— 28 April 2012

Do your kids love cooking, eating fish and want to help save our oceans and endangered fish? Make sure they enter the Kids in the Kitchen cooking competition to find the best fish dish.

Help your kids channel their cooking flair into creating a mouth-watering sustainable fish dish. The dishes don’t need to be complex, just creative, original and your kids’ own work. Judges will be looking for easy kid-friendly recipes that will inspire children around the UK to get into the kitchen and get cooking non-endangered fish.

We have some fantastic prizes up for grabs, plus ten lucky finalists will be invited to cook their dishes in front of a panel of celebrity judges in a bid to win a place on the Selfridges HIX children’s menu and a host of other great rewards.
