Seafood

I LOVE seafood in pretty much any form. I have always avoided eating endangered species and tuna that wasn't dolphin friendly. That is just the tip of the iceburg.

Did you know that shrimp trawlers drag the ocean bottom for wild shrimp, which damaged bottom habitat and ensnares other creatures. For each pound of shrimp caught by these means 10 pounds of unwanted sea life is caught (most of which die unused)

Look for sustainable seafood, and ask your local fishmonger if that is what they carry.
