Off the Hook: Why Local Seafood is Sustainable

Off the Hook: Why Local Seafood is Sustainable
Part of the Greenmarket's Educated Eater Series

Do you want to know what fish are sustainable to eat? Are you confused by pocket seafood guides and competing certification labels? Do you wonder if any fish sold at farmer's markets are overfished?

Greenmarket's Educated Eater series will bring together Greenmarket fishermen, a regulatory agent, a marine advocate and a chef to help untangle these questions and talk about what's being done to promote sustainable fishing practices and why it's important to support our local fishing families and communities.

Panelists include Alex and Stephanie Villani from Blue Moon Fish in Mattituck, NY; Christopher M. Moore, Chief of the Partnerships and Communications Division in the office of Sustainable Fisheries at NOAA Fisheries Service; and Niaz Dorry, Director of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance (NAMA). Moderated by Colin Alevras, Former Chef of the Tasting Room and currently Beverage Director for David Chang's Momofuku restaurants.

Light local snacks and New York State wine will be served.

Cost: $10.00
