My Norway Adventure

October is National Seafood Month! I recently experienced the trip of a lifetime to Norway to learn about sustainable aquaculture and Norway’s long history of stewardship of the sea.

Tune into my Sound Bites Podcast episode 101 with guest Egil Sundheim from the Norwegian Seafood Council to hear all about my trip, the specifics about sustainable seafood, and why we should all have a “go-to” seafood recipe to help us eat at least two servings of seafood per week. There’s also many wonderful resources including recipes, webinars, toolkits and more!
