Sustainable fish workshop

26.09.2024

The sustainable seafood guide "Kalafoor" provides clear instructions for fish lovers on which fish are sustainable and beneficial to eat from an environmental perspective. Similarly, it highlights species whose populations are struggling and should not be consumed. However, when we go to the store, we often see Norwegian farmed salmon or critically endangered eel in a can. The goal of the workshop is to find a vendor, fisherman, or producer from whom it is possible to buy sustainable fish. The task requires students to first define what sustainable fish is and why, then use their resourcefulness to find someone willing to sell it to them. The workshop concludes with a discussion: why is some fish easy to find in stores, while others are not? How can we improve the situation so that even city-dwelling hobby chefs can prepare meals using sustainable fish?
