Bluefin Tuna Is Not The Only Ingredient For Sushi
The surge in bluefin-tuna-fishing over the past decade has been driven by the proliferation of sushi restaurants across the world.
The world’s remaining stocks of bluefin tuna, 90% of which are in the Mediterranean, could be on the verge of extinction. Says Alain Fonteneau, a marine biologist at France’s government-run Institute for Development Research in Montpellier: “If we do nothing, in five years we will fish the last bluefin tuna.”
It’s time that all of us sushi lovers need to change the way we eat sushi and it’s not difficult to do because there are many sustainable alternatives to bluefin tuna. We have California rolls, inari, salmon, ika, and cucumber rolls to name a few. There are so many other ingredients you can enjoy. Let’s give bluefin tuna a rest and turn to guilt-free dining.
