Kitchen Tip: According to Oceanwise (the Vancouver Aquariums seafood conservation program), overfishing is the greatest threat to our oceans today. The world’s marine life is being quickly depleted. Consumers like us can help by shopping smart and always choosing seafood that has been caught or farmed in a way that ensures the long-term health and sustainability of that species and its ecosystem. Look for the Oceanwise logo on restaurant menus and in shops. Get lots more helpful info at oceanwise.ca.
