Chef David Garcelon: Choosing Sustainable Seafood from Alexandra Cousteau on Vimeo.

Alexandra Cousteau from Blue Legacy was back at The Fairmont Royal York, last week, as guest speaker at Chowder Chowdown Toronto. Hosted by Ocean Wise, the event brought together local “foodies” to savour some tasty fun as nine Ocean Wise chefs created delicious, sustainable seafood chowders paired with beers from Mill Street Brewery.

Back in October, Ms. Cousteau visited the line kitchen of EPIC Restaurant for a chat with Executive Chef David Garcelon and a look at what The Fairmont Royal York is doing to promote sustainable seafood menu options. Watch the video of her visit above.

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.
