Show Notes:

Created by the Vancouver Aquarium, Ocean Wise works directly with restaurants across the country to help them and their customers make sustainable seafood choices. The Ocean Wise logo next to a menu item is an assurance that the item is a good choice for keeping ocean life healthy and abundant for generations to come.

After our interviews, we’ll follow Chef Ryan Gustafson into the kitchen for a quick lesson on how to saute scallops. Then, it’s back to the front of house where we join server, Joseph Nutter, for his take on how guests are reacting to the new Ocean Wise menu.
