Sushi Guide
Blue Ocean Institute’s Guide to Ocean Friendly Sushi helps sushi lovers satisfy both their culinary cravings and their desire to protect the ocean.
Released on October 22, 2008, our wallet guide provides 32 color-coded, science-based environmental rankings for species commonly used in sushi. And we include information on sushi tradition and sushi bar tips, provided by experts Hiroko Shimbo (author of The Sushi Experience) and Trevor Corson (author of The Story of Sushi).
Using the sushi guide is a process--it will take time to become familar enough with the sushi offerings at your favorite sushi bar before you feel like you are making good choices. It's important to be flexible; our guide gives you options for many types of sushi you can eat and it also helps you to explore new and delicious delicious dishes. Sushi lovers can select species from abundant, well-managed fisheries or try those species that are raised using sustainable aquaculture methods.
One conversation at a time, sushi customers and sushi chefs can make a difference for our ocean.
