Lonely Hamachi

I've recently decided to cut back on my seafood intake after reading a report on the declining state of world fisheries--29% have already collapsed and all will be gone by 2048. (I know this report is over a year old, but the situation is not improving, and I feel it's about time to take more personal action.) I've already been avoiding Chilean sea bass, non-domestic or farmed shrimp, and farmed or Atlantic salmon, but now I'm ready to make the larger sacrifice: to stop eating sushi. No tuna, no sake, no hamachi. I am especially sad about hamachi because I had been holding out some hope that it was a sustainable fish since I didn't really know anything about it. But after reading Sprig's guide to Safe, Sustainable Sushi, I can't plead ignorance any longer. Tomorrow evening will be my first test: I'm eating dinner with a friend at Sushi O Sushi. Wish me luck.

(Note: I'll still eat seafood like clams and mussels and fish that are recommended by the Monterey Bay Aquarium on their Seafood Watch list.)
