We can make choices at the restaurant and at the markets when we are informed. I do have a question. This is Atlantic Bluefin. Is it a different species from the Pacific Bluefin, which the Monterey Bay Aquarium says is also perilously over fished? http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals/AnimalDetails.aspx?enc=n3f4wmcSJaMg34hN7vu5yQ== Thank you for bringing this issue to light.

I will write the owners telling them why I'll never eat there again. In fact, I'll just keep copies of such a letter in my purse (along with the very useful safe eating card from the Monterey Aquarium) whenever I eat sushi.

It will be bookmarked immediately! Thank you for your insight on the Bluefin tuna. I have been a fan of yours for some time via your articles in Gourmet. I will never forget the deeply disturbing article "The High Price of Tomatoes." Regarding the Bluefin: It was fascinating to learn about the Bluefin’s size and living patterns. 60 mph!!! That is quite a swimmer for something that weighs in at 1,600 pounds. Too bad they are so easily caught. The bluefin has never been my first choice when I go for sushi, I usually ask the chef to substitute something else. I don’t think my substitutions are any more sustainable…..sadly. The Seafood Watch Report from Monterey Bay Aquarium is always helpful for us to keep a mindful approach to what we put on our plates. http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/cr_seafoodwatch/report/ Thanks for the inspiration and mindful awareness! http://www.familyfreshcooking.com I just found you website via Mark Bittman.
