2023 Sustainable Seafood Month Events

Conservation International Hawai‘i’s 8th annual Hawai’i Sustainable Seafood Month in partnership with Chef Hui is a month-long celebration of Hawai‘i’s unique seafood varieties and cultural practices surrounding sustainable seafood appreciation and preparation. This year’s theme for Sustainable Seafood Month is to create value-added seafood products to reduce seafood waste. These three events will feature innovative menus that utilize the entire fish in delicious ways (think pickled ahi hearts and luscious fish bone marrow) while staying true to each chef’s unique cooking identity, steeped in the diverse cultures of Hawai‘i.
