Global nonprofit the Aquaculture Stewardship Council kicked off October’s National Seafood Month early by hosting its “Sea Green. Be Green.” dining experience at a sustainable seafood restaurant: Chef Andrew Gruel’s flagship Calico Fish House.
ASC was joined by Chef Gruel and Del Pacifico Seafoods — a local producer of ASC-certified, responsibly farmed shrimp — for the collaborative Sept. 26 dinner in Huntington Beach, Calif. More than 75 area media, sustainability advocates, seafood industry members and social media influencers gathered to learn more about modern aquaculture, celebrate responsibly sourced seafood and raise awareness of the meaning behind ASC’s sea green label.
