Under the scheme called Catch of the Day, the supermarket will increase its range of seasonal fresh fish from 40 – 60 varieties, to offer the widest range on UK high streets.
Amongst the new, sustainably caught seasonal lines being brought in next week are fresh octopus, Dover sole and fresh squid.
All of the new fish varieties will be caught in and around British coastal waters, particularly in the south west of England.
Fish counter staff at Tesco have undertaken a training course on the new varieties so that they can offer customers preparation tips.
Tesco fish specialist Gary Hooper said: “Through the Catch of the Day initiative we aim to offer customers far more choice than they’ve ever had before so that they can buy alternatives to the big five species – cod, plaice, salmon, haddock and prawns – and help take pressure off endangered species.”
