A sea change for Montauk menus, as fishing families work to cut out the middlemen

Newsday

Before a piece of seafood touches a diner’s plate, its journey may span thousands of miles — whether it's salmon caught off Alaska or farmed tilapia from China. Even fresh catch hauled off Montauk can ride a circuitous route back to an East End restaurant. Hoping to shorten that journey, six Montauk fishing families have partnered on a venture to eliminate the industry's middlemen. The fisheries are offering fresh catch to restaurants as part of a growing 'sea-to-table' movement that is upending traditional supply chain norms. By Joe Werkmeister

The groups said Wagamama’s use of farmed salmon runs contrary to the restaurant chain’s commitment to the environment.

Blue Empire: How the Norwegian salmon industry extracts nutrition and undermines livelihoods in West Africa

Foodrise

This report exposes how the expansion of the Norwegian salmon farming industry has come at the expense of communities and fish populations in the Global South. While salmon producers tout their sustainability credentials, the industry’s inefficient and wasteful use of finite natural resources is driving the loss of livelihoods and exacerbating malnutrition in nations including The Gambia, Senegal and Mauritania. We argue that the Norwegian salmon industry is not so much leading a ‘blue revolution’ as establishing a ‘blue empire’.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

The feed industry serving farmed fish creates a strain on sub-Saharan Africa wild fish stock and the people of the region, refuting the argument that carnivorous fish farming will be the answer to feeding a growing world population.The study identifies a range of actions the fish feed industry can take to minimize the economic, environmental, and health impacts created by this industry.
