I recently went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my 2- and 4-year-old grandchildren. It is a magical place no matter how old you are. The spectacle that Mother Nature provides is mesmerizing.
In addition to the spectacle, the Aquarium has a serious mission to educate us. For those of us who love seafood, they have created an easy set of guides to help us make consumer choices that will help sustain fish populations. Their Seafood Guides cover the most popular seafood, but also provide information about regional seafood. They even have a Sushi Guide!
Their Super Green List has 10 seafoods you can eat in good conscience, knowing they’re good for you and the planet. These foods are high in omega-3 fatty acids and low in mercury.
As nurses, we are always looking for evidence to make our own healthier consumer choices and share that information with our patients and communities. The Aquarium gives us a great set of tools to make that easy.
Oh yeah, and they have mouth-watering recipes!! Enjoy and feel good about your choices.
