Chef Barton Seaver on the Latest in Sustainable Seafood

Sustainable seafood continues to be a hotbed issue in New England as the public becomes more and more aware of  how to keep our region’s iconic fish swimming in the ocean and not lost to a page in an historical maritime encyclopedia.

Recently, the tide has been rising in the right direction, with Shaw’s Supermarkets announcing its agreement with the Marine Stewardship Council to commit fully to MSC-certified sustainable fisheries – a move that will hopefully rock the supermarket industry’s boat, so to speak.

PRK continues to follow the debate, in all its complexities. To learn what’s new — and to share that with you — we spoke with Chef Barton Seaver , an acclaimed sustainable seafood advocate.

What’s new on the sustainability horizon that you feel the public should know? Are there any new initiatives in the works that you are excited about?
