Apparently there was a sustainable dinner series at the aquarium, which is super cool but disappointing because according to Black Coffee and a Donut, they just had the last one. The Fresh Thoughts dinners included dolphin shows and squid exhibits.
Out of this Mexico-themed shindig (guacamole, lime-cilantro creme, pepita seed salad) comes an interesting factoid.
Per the Black Coffee gals, who we recently bumped into at Joe Squared, the foodie mecca pizza joint (a rare string of words) on North Avenue, tilapia = Veganfish:
Tilapia, which is farm-raised in Maryland, “is an herbivore so it is low down on the food chain. Lower down on the food chain means fewer fish went into creating the fish you are eating … for every pound of tuna you eat (which is high on the food chain), that represents 10 pounds of squid.”
Not convinced? Peep this recipe for tilapia tacos

Thanks for the shout out! I am told there will be future sustainable seafood dinners so if you’re interested, I’ll let you know when I know.
