THE SUSTAINABLE FISH MENU






THE SUSTAINABLE FISH MENU


The following is just a partial list of fish that that many restaurants are beginning to take notice of in an effort to raise the consciousness of the consumer to the facts of life regarding the world we live in today. With many species on the brink of extinction it's the smart and responsible thing to do.  The more the consumer becomes aware of their part in sustaining the elements of this planet the better off we will all be for it.
