"Recently, I watched a diner closely question a waiter about the cream content of the tartar sauce that came with her fish and chips, but not about the actual identity of the menu-listed 'whitefish' — a term used to describe any number of fish species. Watching their exchange, I wondered whether restaurant menus need new symbols along the lines of the ones that identify gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan items — symbols that declare fish to be 'species verified' or 'plastic free.' If consumers were more aware of what was in their fish — and what type of fish they were eating in the first place — they might be able to hold key players in the fish industry accountable."
