The Blue Revolution and
Wild Fisheries:
Issues, Technologies and Taste
October 30, 2004
A full day exploration through discussion, film and tastings of the latest developments and controversies in aquaculture, wild fisheries, and the local fish supply. This program was designed to guide restaurateurs and other food professionals, health advocates, and home cooks through this complex subject. How can we balance the known health benefits and taste delights of eating fish with rapidly increasing ecological concerns raised by overfishing, pollutants, and industrial aquaculture?
A tasting was provided by producers and purveyors of sustainably harvested fish and seafood.
