Robert De Niro has come under fire from environmental activists for serving endangered fish at his popular restaurant chain Nobu.
Three of the actor's celebrity hotspot restaurants in London have been slammed by planet-friendly group Greenpeace, after activists caught the eateries serving Atlantic bluefin tuna while failing to note the species in menus.
The fish is so endangered the World Wildlife Fund has called for a ban on its sale, though it remains legal in restaurants despite reports of near extinction.
A Greenpeace spokesperson says, "Nobu and Robert De Niro are clearly making a great deal of money serving up endangered fish."
As WENN went to press, a spokesperson for the New York branches of the restaurant did not return calls.
