Reeling in Sustainability: Ren Ostry's Guide to Ethical Seafood Choices
We're trying to shift, like you said, from a supply base to a demand base, and the reason we want to be tackling that so easy is because you know even the most healthy and conscious eaters, when it comes to proteins, don't always know where to start.
Ever wondered why your seafood choices matter? In this episode of Unwasted: The Podcast, Ren Ostry, the visionary behind Kitchen Catch, dives deep into the ocean's depths to reveal the pressing need for sustainable seafood practices. Did you know that most Americans stick to just three types of fish—tuna, salmon, and shrimp? This limited palate is draining our oceans and pushing us toward unsustainable farming methods. Ren argues that it's high time we broaden our seafood horizons.
She champions lesser-known species like Opah and Mongchong, which are often caught alongside their more popular counterparts but rarely make it to our plates. Ren's passion for sustainable seafood is contagious. She shares practical tips on how to shop ethically for seafood and offers easy-to-follow cooking advice for those new to fish dishes.
