The video features two of the best sushi restaurants that Las Vegas offer. The chefs at Yellowtail show their signature dishes. The restaurant’s beautiful interior is very inviting. If you want to experience elegance and fine cuisine, Red Square will meet or exceed your expectation.

Being a sushi lover, I like the fact new sushi restaurants keep popping up on the streets I drive everyday. The competition gives me more choices and helps me in the pursuit of perfect sushi for my palate. Coming from the land of sushi and sashimi, the soaring popularity of sushi worldwide is mind boggling. As recently as 10 years ago, I was pretty used to hearing a comment like “Sushi is raw fish, right?” The notion I had for a years that sushi is way too foreign and having it is an entirely esoteric experience for the majority is no longer valid.

The popularity of sushi today is putting the sustainability of some ocean species at risk. I love sushi, but not as much to the point I have to eat my conscience as well. That is why I was elated when Monterey Bay Aquarium released Seafood Watch Pocket Guide.

The guide was developed as part of 1997-1999 “Fishing for Solutions” exhibit anticipating visitor questions about making better seafood choices. Nearly 75% of the world’s fisheries either fully fished or overfished. This is an alarming fact. With this guide, I can finally eat and keep loving sushi without contributing to the destruction of species. The guides list the types of sushi fish into three categories: “Best Choice,” “Good Alternative,” and “Avoid.”

Among the types of fish to avoid, bluefin tuna, Chilean sea bass, and grouper are some the most threatened species.

Monterey Bay Aquarium has Seafood Watch Restaurant Program.
I hope to see all of the restaurants in town participate in this program.

The Environmental Defense Fund and the Blue Ocean Institute also issued a guide to raise consumer awareness about the importance of buying seafood from sustainable sources.

I support this movement whole-heartedly and hope that all sushi lovers will have fish to eat for generations to come by maintaining healthy and abundant oceans
