A Lesson in Sustainable Seafood From Chef Barton Seaver in Portland, Maine

Knowledge is power and in this season 4 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 402), Amy travels to Portland, Maine to learn all there is to know about seafood consumption from chef Barton Seaver. Barton has worked in top kitchens across the country and is among the world’s leading sustainable seafood experts. Barton’s goal is to educate people on the economic and ecological benefits of consuming locally sourced seafood. Together, he and Amy pick out a less sought-after but equally delicious locally sourced fish which they cook in Barton’s home kitchen. Who knew sustainability could taste so good?
