Bertyn chef Serge Restiau cooks seitan Teriyaki for ‘Brigitte Bardot’ crew. Sea Shepherd and Bertyn Seitan join forces to protect the oceans and their sea life, such as the tuna.
On 15 September 2011 Bertyn Seitan Master Serge Restiau visited the ‘Brigitte Bardot’ at the Willem Dock in Antwerp. The ‘Brigitte Bardot’ was beautifully moored beside the magnificent MAS museum. A 35-metre long, super fast ship which will be used by Sea Shepherd to protect the oceans and their sea life. The costs necessary to transform the ‘Brigitte Bardot’ were met in part by a donation from the Brigitte Bardot foundation (www.fondationbrigittebardot.fr).

Bertyn cooks seitan Teriyaki for ‘Brigitte Bardot’ crew The crew of the ‘Brigitte Bardot’ consists of an average of 10 volunteers. On board only vegan food is consumed. No meat, no fish, no eggs, no dairy, no honey. Out of respect for animals and the eco-system. To give these volunteers of the ‘Brigitte Bardot’ a treat, seitan chef Serge Restiau from Bertyn prepared lunch for Sea Shepherd under the motto: let food be your medicine. From now on, the chef of the ‘Brigitte Bardot’ will cook with extra virgin coconut oil and Amanprana olive oil, use Gula Java (healthy palm sugar from Java) as a sweetener, and the crew will get their omega-3 via Amanprana hemp oil (cannabis sativa) and drink lovely organic wine and Gula Java Cocoa (a healthy and tasty sports (energy) drink)… Super food for a super performance! And the crew will enjoy Bertyn Seitan. The ideal meat, fish and tofu replacement.
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a worldwide independent organisation for the protection of the oceans and sea life for future generations, founded in 1977. To help enforce regulations and protect the oceans and sea life, Sea Shepherd takes direct action in the field. Its current fleet comprises five ships, including the super fast ‘Brigitte Bardot’.

Organic and vegetarian are the future for man and the eco-system Bertyn is a small company with great ambitions, because organic and vegetarian products are the future. Both for human health and for all animals and eco-systems. Bertyn calls for attention to the oceans. Let us not be blinded by our own short-term interests. Let us make sure our children will be able to enjoy the oceans and a healthy eco-system. ’Leave us a flower and some grass that is still green. Forget just for once how much money a million is’: Louis Neefs. Fish die in the sea, poisoned; the sand on the beaches is polluted with plastic and oil. Whales are driven ashore by sonar rays produced by humans looking for oil, gas or fish, and by military exercises. Fish are killed by the noise of pile-drivers of oil rigs and wind mills. Coral reefs and mangrove forests disappear for the sake of culinary delights (shrimp farms). There is overfishing in general, and in particular of tuna. Stop eating tuna. Stop eating tuna salad, pasta salad with tuna, tuna, tuna pâté, tinned tuna and salads containing tuna. Stop eating tuna sashimi and sushi.
