Fresh Seafood
Anyone enjoying a luxury yacht charter attest to the epicurean delights. In specific, prepared and presented by some of the finest chefs in the world. From select cuts of beef to freshly-caught seafood. Only the finest ingredients are used.
Unfortunately, the same attention to detail is not always present ashore. In addition, back at home. This is especially when it comes to mislabeled seafood.
Fresh Seafood
Recent reports suggest that species may be mislabeled. Specifically, as much as 25 to 70 percent of the time. In addition, for commonly swapped species. For instance, red snapper, Atlantic cod, and wild salmon. Mislabeling not only rips off consumers, but can hurt our oceans as well.
That’s where you come in. The oceans need you, Sherlock Holmes!
Oceana is a celebrity-driven advocacy group. It exists for the protection of our seas. The group recruits “Seafood Sleuths.” They need volunteers to identify seafood fraud.
Simply put. Oceana looks for fishy seafood in your area. They need your help.
Do you have what it takes to be a Seafood Sleuth?
Seafood fraud covers a number of dirty activities. These skirt the rules and rip us off. For instance, mislabeling seafood as a totally different fish. Seafood Sleuths buy seafood from either a grocery store or a restaurant. They send a small piece of fish back to Oceana. The Oceana science team works with a lab. In specific, uses DNA to identify the fish species. They then report the results.
Oceana recently tested seafood in the Boston area. They found 18% of seafood purchased from major grocery store chains mislabeled. The Boston Globe published a two day story on seafood fraud in New England markets and restaurants. Their findings revealed 48% of the fish to be mislabeled.
You might wonder why this situation is not prevalent in the yacht charter industry.
Purchases of fresh foods for Caribbean yacht charter vessels, for example, superyacht vessels everywhere, lies in the hands of the yacht’s highly-trained onboard chef. Most chefs personally visit the markets. They select the entire fish. This guarantees they are purchasing exactly the type of fish they want.
So here is your opportunity to fight seafood fraud in your hometown. Sign up to be a Seafood Sleuth TODAY.
