We have some exciting news to share! Salt Wood Kitchen & Oysterette has officially joined the Seafood Watch Best Choice Restaurant Program, a program by the Monterey Bay Aquarium that recognizes restaurants committed to serving environmentally sustainable seafood.
What does that mean for you? When you dine with us, look for the Best Choice mark on our menu. That mark means the seafood beside it has been rated green by Seafood Watch, one of the most trusted sustainability rating systems in the industry. Ordering a Best Choice item is one of the easiest ways to support ocean health without changing your dinner plans.
Sustainable seafood matters because it comes from fisheries and aquaculture operations that protect ecosystems, wildlife, and the livelihoods of communities around the world who depend on the ocean. When we choose responsibly harvested fish, we give marine populations a chance to replenish, so future generations can enjoy seafood too.
As Jennifer Dianto Kemmerly, Monterey Bay Aquarium's Vice President of Global Ocean Conservation, put it: ordering a Best Choice item is "an easy, delicious way to help protect the ocean and support environmentally conscious restaurants."
We're proud to be part of a growing community of chefs and restaurateurs who believe great food and responsible sourcing go hand in hand. Stay tuned as we continue to grow our sustainable offerings, and thank you for dining with intention.
