Help the Monterey Bay Aquarium with the details for their upcoming Seafood Watch sushi guide! This fall Seafood Watch will launch our first-ever sushi pocket guide in collaboration with the Blue Ocean Institute and we could use your help. Have you wondered how our Seafood Watch research staff decide which fish to include and what common names to use on our pocket guides and website? You can help us with this very important step so our recommendations are relevant and useful.Here’s how:

1. Let us know what your favorite sushi restaurants are serving. It’s a way to start a conversation and get chefs thinking about what types of fish they use, where it comes from and how it’s caught.

2. After selecting your favorite sushi restaurant, review their menu and ask your server or sushi chef these questions. If they ask, “Why you are you so curious?”, tell them you’re helping the Seafood Watch program with some of its market research.

3. To help you remember what questions to ask, we recommend you click the link to the survey, print it out and bring it with you to the restaurant. Fill out as many questions as you can, but don’t worry about answering every question; anything you can do is helpful. When you get back to your computer click the survey link again and enter your results!

4. Everyone who submits a survey will be entered to win a cookbook from one of our Cooking for Solutions celebrity chefs or a Seafood Watch reusable canvas tote bag. You must submit your results by July 14th to be entered into the drawing.
