Sustainable Sushi: a useful guide for eating smart!

This is a great book to use when out at your favorite sushi bar. It provides basic, easy to understand information, that gives you options when eating nigiri or your favorite roll. The author even provides a website with the most up-to-date information for sustainable eating! Give it a try!

A must have for sushi lovers!

I just bought this book for all of my friends who have been avoiding the sushi bar out of guilt! Finally, a resource for how to eat fish responsibly. This book goes far beyond the "stay away from bluefin and farmed salmon" rules and recommends delicious alternatives to my favorite nigiri selections. Arctic char instead of farmed salmon. Albacore tuna belly instead of bluefin. Plus gorgeous pictures paired with all of the information you need. Yum!

Excellent book for those who love food and the earth

I was looking forward to getting this book because I have always thought that the buying guides from the aquarium where really useful, but wanted to know more. Why is this on this list? So I thought this book would do that for me. I was wonderfully surprised by just how beautiful the book was as well when I got it. There are great drawings and photos that "bring to life" all that it talks about. I think this is a must have for anyone who likes sushi and also cares about the environment, which I would hope would be everyone who likes sushi.

An Incredible Resource!

"Sustainable Sushi" is an incredible resource for anyone who cares about the health of our oceans--and loves sushi! From its beautiful presentation (the paintings of the fish and the photos of the sushi are truly fantastic) to its wealth of information on the health of global fish stocks (as well as health tips for the humans that consume them), this publication is both pleasurable and practical, and is a huge contribution to the ecologically conscious consumer. My only complaint is that it didn't come out a month earlier as it would have been an excellent holiday gift for my lvoed ones. Oh well, only 343 shopping days until Christmas!

a MUST-HAVE for every sushi fan

This is THE book I've been waiting for! I love sushi, but I've been aware for a long time that many of the fish served at my favorite sushi spots are in trouble. It can be overwhelming these days to try to make an ethical, healthy choice when eating seafood. This is the kind of guide we all need. Written by a sustainability expert who knows fish and who is a sushi lover himself. It doesn't even make you feel guilty! It's a beautiful book that's small enough to fit in your purse or pocket. Now I can eat my favorite food and do it right! Thank you, Mr. Trenor.
