 | | If 10,000 Chicago Biters substitute their yearly tuna consumption with more sustainable fish, we'll keep 850 tuna swimming in the oceans every year. |
|  |  | | To fill the Shedd’s original saltwater exhibits in 1929, the aquarium shipped 1 million gallons of ocean water 1,600 miles by rail from the Florida Keys. Today, the museum makes its own saltwater. | | |

|  The Bite
Casting a net for some serious insight on what kind of fish to fry? With the Shedd Aquarium’s new Right Bite card (a digest of the museum’s extensive research program into the most sustainable dinner choices) there’ll be no more mercury - or guilt about overfishing - rising. Just stuff one of these portable summaries into your wallet, and check the rating before you buy: “Best Choices” (tilapia), “Good Alternatives” (sole), or “Avoid” (grouper). Good thing we like perch (see photo), one of many local freshwater fish from the Great Lakes the program touts. So you can sit back and feel reel-y good while you fry. |
