Over the next few months, I’d like to invite you all to be part of a conversation about seafood.  Consider these posts as a forum where you can come to learn, exchange ideas, and share recipes.   Thanks to improved aquaculture and processing technology, the globalization of the fishing industry, and in part to the popularity of celebrity chefs, seafood is no longer exclusive to the coastal areas of the United States.  As a native Minnesotan, growing up I never had access to fresh seafood other than what my dad fished out of the lake.  Now, my mom and dad are buying Ahi tuna steaks from a gourmet door-to-door meat salesman!  But even if seafood has suddenly become more accessible to middle Americans, it hasn’t become any less nebulous.  There are still many myths about seafood that circulate across different mediums.  It is my intention to use this blog to debunk a few of those myths by answering some common questions about the origin, sustainability, cost, and health risks and benefits of seafood, as well as the supposed difficulty of its preparation.  I hope each of you grows in knowledge and in wellness as you read this blog, and I look forward to reading your comments!
