Since 2008, the Sustainable Seafood Program has promoted “seafood choices that make sense for a healthy marine environment.” So far, 75 local businesses have partnered with the Virginia Aquarium to provide more ocean-friendly menu options. The program aims to combat over-fishing by encouraging people to buy local, carry their Sensible Seafood Pocket Guide, and support their partners.
Congratulations to the 2014 festival winners: Wickers Crab Pot (People’s Choice), Hot Tuna (Critic’s Choice), and Distinctive Gourmet (Green Plate).
