We're Talking With Chef Gerard Viverito About Sustainable Cooking
Over 60% of the seafood sold in America is eaten in restaurants. This number reinforces what we already know: that restaurants have a huge impact on consumer taste. So what can we do in our restaurants to help? We must educate ourselves on the issues – both the problems and, most importantly, the solutions. There are many organizations, such as http://www.passionfish.org/ which provide accurate information on the status of fish stocks that we can use to help make responsible decisions. There are many fisheries that can provide delicious and sustainable seafood to our restaurants – though it takes a little extra work to find and source from these areas of the industry.Chef Gerard Viverito is the Director of Culinary Education for Passionfish.org, a NGO non-profit organization dedicated to educating people around the globe on the issue of sustainability in the seas.

Chef G has used his culinary talents to develop recipes that not only fit seasonal fish harvesting but are delicious.

As the foremost creator of these studies, his work appears in the national media nearly every month.
