Diners frequently ask if a product is farm-raised, and might have additional questions for waitstaff about the quality of farm-raised seafood. Good news: If fish and shellfish are raised in the United States, federal and state regulatory oversight helps to ensure the safety of the product and ensures that the production methods were environmentally sound.
To help meet the needs of foodservice educators, the National Aquaculture Association (NAA) offers a new teaching module, “Purchasing and Preparing U.S. Farm-Raised Seafood.” The module consists of a 12-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation and accompanying lesson plan.
