TOP CHEF Jamie Oliver's restaurant is today exposed for buying illegal wild salmon in dodgy "no-questions-asked" cash deals.
Staff at the TV chef's trendy restaurant Fifteen were happy to buy the fish from a complete stranger out the back of a car.
And amazingly, they did not ask for proof of origin or any guarantee that the salmon had been refrigerated properly.
A spokesman for the restaurant later claimed they had bought the fish purely for training purposes and it wouldn't have been eaten by customers. Yet every other top restaurant we approached rejected our salmon out of hand.
Fifteen became the most famous restaurant in Britain after a fly-on-the-wall documentary followed Jamie training 15 youngsters to become chefs.
