ROCKLAND Local science writer, journalist and author Ret Talbot will take a deep dive into seafood and seafood sustainability as part of the Good Tern Co-op’s ongoing online event series.
Talbot will start his talk by defining sustainable seafood, then focus on how to better understand the most common choices presented to the sustainably-minded consumer when buying seafood. Participants will also receive several recipes and preparation tips that will make eating sustainable seafood even more enjoyable.
The workshop is free and will take place online on Wednesday, May 12, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This event is co-sponsored by Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association, and a member of MCFA will be on hand to answer specific questions about local seafood.
