Chef Josef with Sarah Schumann My friend Sarah Schumann is a professional small scale shellfisher in Rhode Island, and spends her summers working at a salmon cannery in Alaska. She started “Eating with the Ecosystem,” an educational effort, as a way to refocus conversations about sustainable seafood around local "seafood-sheds." Lecture-dinners are held at local restaurants to showcase sustainable seafood, prepared by wonderful chefs, to educate diners about local seafood resources and practices. In November, such a dinner was hosted at Tallulah On Thames, in Newport, Rhode Island.
 Chef Jake Rojas with Chef Josef The evening and four course seafood dinner was themed around a variety of seafood taken from the George’s Bank region of our Atlantic coast. We enjoyed lectures by Brett Tolley, a fisheries activist from Cape Cod, and Matt McKenzie, a fisheries historian from University of Connecticut. The food was deliciously prepared by Owner-Chef Jake Rojas, and consisted of squid, scallops, skate, and monkfish. |  Scallop, butternut squash, curry and coconut prepared by Chef Jake Rojas |
