Help us help you get more seafood on plates
Here’s how we, as chefs, can get more seafood on more plates—putting delicious, sustainable options at the heart of every menu:
- Partner with your Distributors, Fishermen, and Producers: Build relationships that let you showcase your seafood’s origins authentically, connecting your menu to real people and their dedication.
- Focus on Sustainability: Emphasize bivalves like oysters, clams, and mussels or farmed fish from certified programs. Share these stories—diners want to feel good about what they eat.
- Menu It Boldly:Â Be unapologetic about featuring seafood as the centerpiece. Let your menu language amplify its allure with creative descriptors that convey its value and culinary craftsmanship.
- Engage and Educate Your Team:Â Train staff to speak confidently about seafood sustainability, preparation techniques, and pairing suggestions. Enthusiasm is contagious!
- Leverage Small Plates and Pairings:Â Feature seafood in sharable formats or with beverage pairings to make it a lower-commitment, higher-reward experience for diners.
- Innovate with Familiar Formats: Offer seafood in comfort foods or trending styles—think crab mac & cheese, tuna poke nachos, or salmon burgers—to intrigue hesitant diners.
- Serve Seafood Beyond Dinner:Â Incorporate seafood into breakfast/brunch menus or bar snacks. Think smoked fish Benedicts, salmon bagels, or oysters with craft cocktail-inspired mignonettes.
- Embrace Nose-to-Tail Utilization:Â Maximize every part of the fish. Broths, mousses, or charcuterie from trim and bones reduce waste and increase profitability.
- Celebrate Local and Seasonal:Â Use locally sourced or seasonal seafood as a storytelling opportunity. Guests love the connection to place and time through their plates.
- Celebrate Accessibility and Affordability:Â Highlight versatile, lower-cost species like mackerel, mussels, or pollock that balance flavor with value, making seafood approachable for every guest.
Chefs, seafood isn’t just a menu item—it’s a story, a solution, and a savory sensation waiting to be celebrated. Let’s lead the way.
