Red Lobster, other restaurants debut summer seafood dishes - SeafoodSource

Red Lobster is one of many United States restaurant chains launching new seafood dishes this summer.

While chains are featuring shrimp in their limited time menus, Orlando, Florida, U.S.A.-based Red Lobster recently rolled out a Crunch-Fried Flounder Sandwich.

The sandwich, available for a limited time, features hand-battered wild-caught flounder, tartar sauce and coleslaw with choice of one side, per Chew Boom.

A Red Lobster spokesperson did not respond to SeafoodSource's request for a comment.

Meanwhile, Costa Mesa, California, U.S.A.-based California Pizza Kitchen is featuring two seafood dishes on its summer menu: Seafood Cioppino and Salmon with Pan-Roasted Summer Vegetables.

Included in CPK's version of the Italian classic Seafood Cioppino dish are blue mussels, calamari, white fish, bay scallops, and shrimp in a white wine tomato broth with fennel, garlic, and fresh basil.

Meanwhile, the Salmon with Pan-Roasted Summer Vegetables includes North Atlantic salmon roasted on a cedar plank and served with fingerling potatoes, seasonal cherry tomatoes, charred onions, and bell peppers.

"Two things that immediately come to mind when we hear the words 'California' and 'summer' are fresh fruits and vegetables and seafood, and that's what our new summer menu is all about," CPK Senior Vice President of Culinary Innovation Brian Sullivan said in a press release.

Meanwhile, Tampa, Florida, U.S.A.-based Bonefish Grill rolled out a limited time dish: Shrimp Rangoon Topped Salmon. The wood-grilled salmon is topped with creamy shrimp rangoon and finished with Pancko bread crumbs and sweet chili sauce.

Shrimp is the star on many restaurants' summer menus, as the cost of farmed shrimp has remained relatively stable versus other seafood and other proteins.

Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A.-based Long John Silver's, for instance, recently launched Coconut Popcorn Shrimp. Customers can order the new shrimp in a Snackbox or Combo Fish and Coconut Popcorn Shrimp Platter, or USD 10.00 (EUR 10.00) Sea-Share or Family Feast.

Likewise, Red Lobster, which operates more than 700 restaurants, rolled out a BBQ Bacon Grilled Shrimp dish as part of its Summerfest promotion.

The two fire-grilled shrimp skewers are glazed with sweet and smoky BBQ sauce and topped with crispy bacon and green onions, then served over orzo with a choice of one side. It can be ordered as part of Red Lobster's "3 Courses for USD 18.99 (EUR 18.99)", when paired with a soup or salad and individual starter.

Red Argentinian Shrimp Skewers, fire-grilled and served over orzo and a choice of two sides, are also included in Red Lobster's Summerfest.

Mexican restaurant chain Qdoba unveiled a Citrus Lime Shrimp limited-time promotion, utilizing Best Aquaculture Practices-certified shrimp, earlier this summer.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
