Choosing seafood that is both good for you and good for the planet can be a mind-boggling experience. Luckily The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch is here to help. They carefully evaluate fishing practices and simplify choices as either Green (Best Choice), Yellow (Good Alternative) or Red (Avoid). In this episode, Seafood Watch’s Program Director Erin Hudson talks about why it’s important to choose sustainable seafood, and how to make the smartest choices without stressing about it.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium launched Seafood Watch in 1999 to help people navigate purchasing sustainable seafood through seafood ratings and tools like pocket guides. The program and its scope have grown over the past 25 years. Today, their science-based assessments are a primary resource for understanding sustainable seafood around the world. They also work to transform how seafood is fished and farmed through partnerships with businesses, governments, other NGOs, and producer groups so that people and the planet can thrive now and in the future.

Food is one of the very best gifts you can give because it’s a gift of connection. Homemade food gifts are touchingly personal and much less expensive than store-bought, and they can be created with less effort than you might imagine.

 Born and raised in Detroit, Elle found her love for food while spending time in the kitchen with a food enthusiast family. After an internship at the Food Network, Elle discovered her inclination towards the creative aspects of culinary preparation, particularly in designing and decorating as a food stylist, which lead her to work in culinary production for The Chew, Cook's Country, Bravo, Food Network and Cooking Channel. Now Elle resides in Boston as a full time ATK cast member and food stylist, as well as focusing on her role as a board member for Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, which Elle became involved with after her 2016 cancer diagnosis.
