An on-demand video of “Sustainable Seaweed Making Waves in Restaurants Across the Country” is available free for SeafoodSource Premium members and for USD 350 (EUR 315) to non-members through the Complete Digital Ticket: Seafood Expo North America 2024.
Featuring Luke’s Lobster Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer Ben Conniff; Searenity Seafoods Founder/President Lauren Enz; Atlantic Sea Farms CEO Briana Warner; UMass Amherst Executive Director, Auxiliary Enterprises Ken Toong; and North Coast Seafoods Chief Director of Innovation and Development Andrew Wilkinson, the panel was held on Monday, 11 March, with the following description:
Restaurants are increasingly turning to using U.S.-grown seaweed aquaculture products on their menus to highlight their sustainable sourcing story and bring new customers to expanded seafood offerings. With ultimate traceability and a story that promotes climate change adaptation and mitigation, New England-grown kelp is becoming the star of menus in some of the most unexpected places.
The 2024 Seafood Expo North America, which took place 10 to 12 March in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., featured a comprehensive conference program of live panel events focusing on topics chosen to be of vital interest to the seafood industry.
