The Best San Diego Seafood Is Caught Smart

a kitchen filled with lots of food on a table

You may have heard us talking about how we’re a James Beard Certified Smart Catch Leader, but you may also be wondering what that means. In short, being a Smart Catch Leader means a dedication and commitment to sustainable practices. Being a premier San Diego Seafood restaurant comes with a responsibility to make sure we are catching our food responsibly, and only offering the finest sustainable ingredients.

SMART CATCH DEFINED

The James Beard Foundation describes smart catch as: 

“Smart Catch is an educational program created by chefs for chefs with the purpose of increasing the sustainability of the seafood offered on menus. Chefs are uniquely positioned to create positive change in seafood supply chains and influence consumer behavior. While Smart Catch recognizes the best performers, the program emphasizes the importance of improvement in both the culinary space and in seafood supply chains. By connecting producers to chefs, Smart Catch aims to create positive change on the water and for all the people connected to it. 

Through Smart Catch, chefs have a chance to use their influence to lead industry efforts to maintain healthy, sustainable food sources today and for future generations. They will be able to expand not only our palates, but also our views.”

Fun fact! The only San Diego Seafood Restaurants to be awarded this recognition are Serea Coastal Cuisine and Lionfish Coastal Cuisine!
