Fish Meat: Choose Your Farm Wisely

The age of fish meat is here.

A new documentary, "Fish Meat: Choose Your Farm Wisely," by eco-filmmaker Ted Caplow and featuring our friend University of Massachusetts Amherst fish ecologist Andy Danylchuk, debuts this week at the Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema near Palm Springs, Calif. It exposes some pitfalls of modern aquaculture and the plight of the world’s wild fish stocks, to help consumers think more holistically about where their seafood comes from.
