Dirk of Dirk’s Fish posted about this on Facebook and it’s pretty cool. It’s a website called This Fish that’s connected to the registry that keeps track of fish catches; if you can get the number of the tag on your whole fish, you can pop it in and find out where it was caught, by who, and even find out a little about them. It’s like Fishbook! (Dirk gives an example of a two-pound lobster currently, well at least as of yesterday, in his shop.) Besides the sheer novelty, it seems like it would be a good way to know you’re eating something that was harvested in accordance with sustainability guidelines… not to mention that the species they’re saying it is, is really what it is.
