Swapping red meat for herring, sardines and anchovies could save thousands of lives and help tackle the climate crisis, according to new research.

According to BMJ Global Health, red meat consumption is linked to an increase in diet-related diseases and replacing it with forage fish could save 750,000 lives in the long run.

Kingi restaurant owner and chef Tom Hishon says these fish are a great source of omegas and calcium.

"With fish, it's important to remember you kind of don't want to cook it all the way through and take it off the heat- you always let that residual heat come through."
