From preserving the well-being of the ocean and its species to supporting positive working conditions in fishery-dependent communities, seafood sustainability covers a lot of ground, and purchasing seafood that's good for both businesses and the environment is a top consumer priority. Beyond delicious seafood options, we believe in providing our customers with ideas and resources to promote a better future for our planet. Here are a few simple ways you can do your part in the back of the house.
Dry-Aging Seafood
Dry-aging is a trending method that lets chefs extend the shelf life of their fish while also intensifying its flavour. It works by allowing enzymes in the fish to break down over time, resulting in a deeper, more complex taste. This technique can be used for a range of raw dishes like crudo, tiradito, ceviche, and sashimi, or even for fish tacos. The amount of time needed for dry-aging varies depending on the fish, but the payoff is worth it. It’s a fantastic way to reduce food waste, cut costs, and create delicious meals that your guests will love.
Utilizing Tin Fish
Tinned fish is a prominent food trend that’s taking social media by storm. It’s shelf stable, making it an excellent source of sustainable seafood. Plus, most canned fish varieties use smaller species like mackerel and sardines, which have abundant and healthy populations. Harvesting them doesn’t pose a significant threat to the well-being of ocean life. To elevate dishes, consider reaching for tinned seafood to add a punch of umami to salads, sauces, charcuterie boards, crostini, and more.
Zero Waste Cooking
Instead of throwing away seafood scraps like shrimp shells and fish bones, use them to create flavorful broths, creams, dips, and sauces. With zerowaste methods, every part of the fish is utilized, resulting in increased profit margins for you as an operator. Plus, you’ll be contributing to a more sustainable food system by reducing landfill waste.
