Something’s fishy

When I get time I like to surf here in my home town of San Diego. When the water visibility is good it is pretty common to sit on the board on top of whole schools of small fish, usually sardines and anchovies. I also enjoy travelling and have spent many vacations in Southern Europe where these small fish are hugely popular usually grilled on a barbecue. As of yet I have never seen sardines on a menu here on the west coast which is a shame because they are delicious. It also happens that they are regarded as a very eco friendly fish. I recently came across the following website. http://www.edf.org/page.cfm?tagID=1521 . It is a very useful tool showing which fish are not only sustainable but also healthy to eat. Check it out.

Spoke too soon. I just found a restaurant in North Park called the Sea Rocket Bistro which serves a sardine plate. Looks like they sell a lot of local fish including Point Loma sea urchin and Carlsbad mussels. Looks like the only one in San Diego, I will check it out and let you know how it is.
