Pack your knives

A few days late, I caught the “Top Chef” Restaurant Wars episode, which featured chef Rick Moonen, who is famous for sticking to sustainable seafood — meaning he won’t use anything that was overfished or caught in a way harmful to the environment.

What does that mean? According to his site:

…he takes chances by refusing to sell favorites like Chilean Sea Bass, Japanese Hamachi, Monkfish and Grouper because of their dwindling populations.

He links to the WWF (actually a bad link, so I found this), where you can find a wealth of resources. The organization says that more than 70 percent of the world’s commercial fish stock are overfished or exploited.
