This book covers everything from how to identify sustainable seafood to how to cook it properly. It also includes a directory of sustainable seafood sources, so you can find the freshest, most delicious fish near you.

Why Eat Sustainable Seafood?

There are many reasons why you should choose to eat sustainable seafood. First, sustainable seafood is better for the environment. Overfishing is a major problem that is threatening the health of our oceans. By choosing to eat sustainable seafood, you can help to reduce the pressure on our fisheries and protect marine ecosystems.

Second, sustainable seafood is healthier for you. Fish that are raised in sustainable conditions are less likely to be contaminated with toxins and heavy metals. They are also more likely to be high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for good health.

Third, sustainable seafood is simply more delicious. Fish that are raised in their natural environment have a better flavor and texture than fish that are raised in captivity.

How To Identify Sustainable Seafood

There are a few things you can look for when you're trying to identify sustainable seafood. First, check for the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) ecolabel. The MSC is a non-profit organization that certifies seafood that meets its sustainability standards. You can also look for the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) label. BAP is a certification program that ensures that seafood is raised in a responsible and sustainable manner.

In addition to looking for ecolabels, you can also ask your fishmonger about the sustainability of the seafood you're buying. A good fishmonger will be able to tell you where the fish came from and how it was caught or raised.

How To Cook Sustainable Seafood

Once you've found sustainable seafood, it's important to cook it properly. Overcooking fish can make it tough and dry. To avoid this, cook fish until it is just cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it is done.

There are many different ways to cook sustainable seafood. You can grill it, bake it, pan-fry it, or steam it. No matter how you choose to cook it, make sure that you use fresh ingredients and simple seasonings to let the natural flavor of the fish shine through.
