Seafood is one of life’s greatest pleasures—fresh, flavourful, and packed with nutrients. But choosing the right seafood doesn’t just enhance your meal; it helps protect the future of our oceans. By opting for responsibly sourced fish, you’re supporting healthy marine ecosystems, ethical fishing practices, and thriving coastal communities.
The best part? Sustainable seafood is not only better for the planet, but it also tastes fresher and more delicious on your plate.
At The Brasserie, we take sustainable fishing seriously. Our very own fishing boats, Brasserie Catch I and Brasserie Catch II, head out daily to bring in the freshest fish straight from Cayman’s waters to your plate. This commitment ensures that we provide responsibly sourced seafood while respecting marine life and supporting local fishermen.
At our Harvest Dinner on 21 March, award-winning Chef Jordan Rubin—renowned for his innovative approach to Japanese-inspired cuisine—will showcase the very best of Cayman’s locally and sustainably sourced seafood. Expect a multi-course feast filled with bold, fresh flavours that highlight both sustainability and culinary excellence.
Why Sustainable Seafood Matters
Protecting Ocean Life
Sustainably sourced seafood helps maintain the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. Overfishing depletes fish stocks and disrupts food chains, but responsible fishing allows populations to replenish, ensuring a thriving, biodiverse ocean for years to come.
Supporting Ethical and Responsible Fishing
Traditional techniques like pole-and-line fishing or low-impact aquaculture make a world of difference. These methods respect marine habitats and minimise harm to unintended species, preserving the natural beauty and health of our oceans.
Fresher Flavour, Superior Quality
Sustainable seafood isn’t just an ethical choice—it’s a culinary one. Responsibly sourced fish is often fresher, packed with nutrients, and free from artificial additives. The closer it is to its natural environment, the more vibrant the taste.
Strengthening Coastal Communities
When you choose sustainable seafood, you’re supporting the hardworking fishers and small-scale producers who depend on ethical fishing practices. This helps create better livelihoods and ensures a future where people and the planet thrive together.
How You Can Make a Difference
Making sustainable choices is easier than ever. Look for certifications like the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) when shopping for seafood, and seek out restaurants that celebrate local, seasonal fish. By choosing sustainably, you’re helping to protect ocean ecosystems and support responsible fishing practices.
