Fish Crusaders

Recently ran across this great article about fish crusaders in the Bay Area who are trying to change the way that  fishermen, restaurants, and diners relate to seafood. It's a very interesting read with lots of good information on why things are so hard and how much further we have to go. However, it's not an article about pessimism. There is hope and a chance, if we all do our part and play our roles.

From the end of the article:
"Lastly, everyone at every step along the way has got to ask more questions. “How was this fish caught?” is the most important one. If the waiter doesn’t know, ask the chef, and if you don’t hear the right answer (and let’s be clear: “I don’t know” is not the right answer), order something else. Let the restaurant know that sustainability matters to you. If enough people start asking the right questions, even indifferent chefs will find their way to people like Belov."

Read the full article here. (You may have to open it a few times, seems their server is constantly having problems.)
