Hollywood celebrities crusade for rare fish

LONDON: Hollywood A-listers like Charlize Theron, Sienna Miller and Sting have taken on the posh London eatery 'Nobu' for serving a rare fish close to extinction. Ironically enough the establishment is partly owned by Hollywood legend Robert De Niro.

The trio along with supermodel Elle Mac Pherson and British comedian Stephen Fry have signed a letter asking the restaurant to take the Blue Fin Tuna off it's menu, reported Contactmusic.

The letter stated that they can no longer dine at the establishment "with a clear conscience" if it continues to serve the fish, which is heading towards extinction in the next four years.

"We feel strongly that Blue Fin Tuna must be completely removed from your menu as it is an extremely endangered animal," reads the letter.

The stars have demanded a reply from the owner Nobu Matsuhisa by Monday.
