“Order the Wahoo” " The Wa-Who?"

Eating outside the box has more benefits than you think!




I always order something when I have no idea what it is. Or at least I try to.

I have many reasons to support this action. First, you learn what it is and how it is prepared. Second, you learn if you will ever order it again.

At the seafood restaurant I work at, we offer a lot of fish that people have never had before. The main reason we have so many of these off the beat fish is because they are all sustainable. Meaning, all the fish we prepare are fish that can be maintained to be in existence indefinitely. In other words, you wont find Dover Sole on the menu. Ever.

Restaurants and their chefs are becoming more aware of the impacts that their businesses have on the environment and are doing something about it. Either by buying more locally, making more in house, or practicing fair trade and organic produce, chefs are making segway in the age of fast food and global warming.

Granted not everything you had never tasted before will be from a local farm. But you can make the effort to try. You would be surprised how many ingredients are local that people have never had before.
