Right Bite Dinners At Shedd Aquarium

Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium is offering an incredible program called Right Bite Dinners, a dining series held throughout the year at renowned Chicago-area restaurants and culinary training facilities and featuring full-course upscale dining experiences. But, they are far more than just dinner events. Attendees are served sustainable seafood choices and educated through the course of the evening on how our seafood choices can help protect our oceans and environments. Each participating host restaurantprepares a unique environmentally-friendly menu created especially for the Right Bite events, with special focus placed uponsustainable food choices from our very own Great Lakes region.

As another awareness-building step in the Right Bite program, anyone may download the brand-new Right Bite wallet card (PDF format) featuring answers, information, and an easy-to-reference guide so sustainable choices can be made easily when dining out anywhere, and the guide features many choices often available here in the midwest such as whitefish and yellow perch.

Inspired by a similar program at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium called the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watc, Shedd worked closely with the team in Monterrey to develop a similar sustainability program ehre in Chicago, too. The Shedd Aquarium website has a list of resources, as well, of Chicago-area caterers, grocers, fishmongers, culinary schools and restaurants who support and comply with Shedd and Monterrey Bay’s sustainability seafood standards.
