I think I have deleted the first paragraph to this blog post a dozen times already. Not quite sure where to begin to be honest.

It seems like this could be shaping up to be the year about responsibility with food. Presidents digging up lawns for vegetable gardens, massive feed-lot beef recalls for E-Coli, Food Inc. (the movie) hitting the big screens. Supermarkets getting called out for supplying a ridiculous amount of endangered fish to the unknowing public, without a single word of caution.

There is now one more to add to that list – the movie “The End of the Line”. Talk is growing of late about the sustainability of seafood, and just how fast we all are nuking the oceans of fish. Most of us interested in food have known about this for a while. Most of us have made smart choices for purchasing seafood.

I am not going to talk about this movie. I am not even going to preach about how important sustainable seafood choices are. Any reader of this blog knows how passionate I am about fish, so this diatribe wouldn’t exactly be anything new.

Instead, I want to to briefly talk about how we can make smart choices when buying seafood. How we can get more for paying less. How limiting which fish you buy can actually increase your seafood diversity. Finally, lets top all this off with my favorite recipes for some of the most sustainable seafood out there.
