Spring 2008 Edible Notes: Ask Your Fishmonger


Shrimp cakes made with Oregon pink shrimp

ASK YOUR FISHMONGER

You just got another great option for your plate. On April 1 (no joke!) you’re going to start seeing little blue labels on packages of shrimp in your fishmonger’s case. The label indicates that Oregon pink shrimp just got the world’s first sustainable shrimp certification by the Marine Stewardship Council, an international nonprofit that promotes responsible fishing practices.

So your next Shrimp Louis will not only taste good, but you’ll feel better eating it.
