Thanksgiving Without Sushi

It's true. Seafood may be gone by 2048. And I've been flippin' freakin' out since I heard the news.

As a vegetarian in the 90s, seafood was the one "meat" I occasionally cheated with. The Japanese side of my family always brings over sashimi for the holidays, so I can't remember a Thanksgiving at home without spicy raw tuna with loads of wasabi, right next to the cranberry sauce and stuffing.

To tell the truth, it's rare that I buy fish to cook at home, but next family get-together I'm arriving armed with pocket seafood selectors in an attempt to nudge my extended family members in an eco-friendlier direction. Fingers crossed I've been eating anything but bluefin all these years...

I have been struggling with this since that report came out, as well. I have also been a vegetarian for almost 20 years, eating fish only about once a week. I mainly became a veg. because I was disgusted with the industrialization of the meat industry. I still eat eggs and cheese, but I purchase them from local and organic farms. As for fish, there is a horrible cycle in place where overfishing has reduced stocks so now fishermen are capturing younger fish and are ignoring quotas, so that the stocks are decreasing even more. I just don't think there is any way to address this without strong govt. regulation and enforcement - which won't happen - so it is up to the consumers to decrease demand. It will be hard to give up my spicy Thai salmon and sushi . . . but, well, cucumber rolls are okay. www.righteousrestyle.com
I don't think that giving up fish altogether is required to solve this problem, I even think that increasing your fish consumption can be a good thing, as long as your eating fish that are sustainably caught/farmed. There are plenty of options out there and the Seafood Watch cards are a good general guide. For information specific to the seafood case you're looking at, you should shop at stores that work with FishWise (www.fishwise.org). By changing the demand in seafood from unsustainable to eco-friendly we are supporting the livelihoods of fishermen doing the right thing.
