This week's project: Sustainable Seafood Pocket Guide
It's the summer - and summer means beach trips and seafood! But what kinds of seafood are or are not sustainable? To find out, just follow these 3 easy steps:
- Print out the following Seafood Watch card: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/cr_seafoodwatch/content/media/MBA_SeafoodWatch_SoutheastGuide.pdf
- Cut and fold the sheet to fit in your wallet or purse.
- Consult your card whenever you are considering eating seafood. Don't be afraid to ask the waiter or clerk about where and how your fish were caught. They may not know the answer at first. However, the more people that specifically ask for sustainable seafood, the more likely restaurants and grocery stores will be to start offering it!
