Seafood watch guides...

The Monterey Aquarium has some excellent downloadable pocket guides and apps on it's website to help you choose the right "ocean friendly" fish or critter while shopping. The guides are done by regions and are well worth the download...

Soup and wonderfullness...

Lobstersquad has just such a soup... Ugly, thrifty, wonderful fish soup!
