Great post, but just because the seafood comes from Allseas does not mean it is sustainable or organic – they sell plenty of seafood that is neither.

A New Year’s Celebration for most people is about turning a new leaf and celebrating the accomplishments of the past. My question: How does eating copious amounts of seafood celebrate successes of the past year? How does this indulgence look towards the future to improve on our past? Having spent the past month in Vietnam seeing horrific examples of fishing trawlers draining the sea and fish farms in fields with ducks. We need to make progress the world over. Canada hides our shame a bit better but we are a nation looked up upon by many less developed countries. Truth is, as we consume fish platters and aim for “sustainable” fish, its just throwing money at a problem to feel better about ourselves. We aren’t making progress. By promoting this as an acceptable New Year tradition in a publication to the volume of people in the GTA, your only exacerbating the problem.
