How fine's your kettle of fish?

01.16.2008

The Bite:
Only as fine as it is sustainable. When shopping for seafood, take along an easy-to-use pocket guide or tap into a phone-text service that'll help you determine whether that Chilean sea bass is eco-friendly-fine enough for your kettle.
The Benefits: 
  • Keeping sea critters around. Scientists predict that there will be no more seafood by 2048 unless we change current (unsustainable) fishing methods.
  • Simplicity. These methods make buying sustainable seafood so easy, even a Plunket's dogfish could do it.
Personally Speaking: 
The FishPhone service took the Ideal Bite team by storm when we learned about it; even those of us who don't like seafood stored the number so that we can show off to our friends.

Cocktail Fact

The Guinness Book of World Records got rid of its live-goldfish-eating category, because shady competitors were breeding smaller fish.

Bang For The Bite
