Hey! Look! Sting! Charlize Theron! Sienna Miller! Petitioning Nobu On Bluefin! Celebrities! !!

[hatrack]

It's even mentioned at EOnline!

There's something fishy going on at one of London's most swanky celeb restaurants: The stars are aligning to boycott until an endangered fish is removed from its sushi menu.

Elle Macpherson, Sienna Miller, Alicia Silverstone, Charlize Theron, Sting and Trudie Styler, Ted Danson, Woody Harrelson and Stephen Fry are among the 31 famous folks who have signed a petition vowing not to patronize Nobu London until it stops serving the near-extinct bluefin tuna.

According to the petition, the stars say they can no longer "dine with a clear conscience" at the establishment. "As customers and fans of Nobu we strongly feel that bluefin tuna must be completely removed from your menu due to its perilous position as an extremely endangered animal," the statement reads. "Nobu is a restaurant we all love, a world leader in sushi with a fantastic reputation and enormous influence. If Nobu took a definitive stand on this issue it could make a critical difference."

Last month, the owners of Nobu took a small step toward acquiescing, adding a disclaimer to the bottom of its menu noting that the fish is "environmentally threatened" and advising concerned customers to "please ask your server for an alternative."

1. Fish are doomed

The modern tech-no-logic-al means now being used to capture fish will wipe out nearly all of them very soon. Good to see some realization of that.

2. Seafood watch

The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a guide for making better seafood choices:
