The $24.95 price includes a choice of tastings of Hakutsuru Draft Sake and Sapporo Draft Beer, both imported from Japan, or Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.

Consistent with Bluewater Grill’s strict commitment to seafood sustainability, all varieties of tuna served during the tasting comply with sustainability standards established by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach or other third-party organizations involved in fish-origin certification. I experienced Bluewater Grill’s firm commitment and gained a wealth of information about seafood sustainability and advances in farming during the first Seafood Summit sponsored by Bluewater Grill. I followed up with two posts about theSeafood Summitand Oysters 101in an effort to raise awareness of this important issue andshare some of the wealth of information I gained from the experts from Santa Monica Seafood Company and the Aquarium of the Pacific who presented a mind-boggling amount of information on the complexities of sustainability, responsible farming, monitoring practices, and rating systems.
