Legal Sea Foods' CEO Roger Berkowitz joins Phil and Bob to discuss the "Sustainable Seafood" dinner he will co-host with the Culinary Guild of New England where tiger shrimp, cod and hake will be served — all items the Monterey Bay Aquarium advises people not to eat.
"A lot of people have been brainwashed," Berkowitz told The Gloucester Times. "There's no scientific basis for what they are saying. Restaurants and chefs don't understand any of this when Monterey comes to them."
The dinner will be held on served on Monday night, Jan. 24, at Legal Seafoods in Park Square in Boston — and is designed to showcase "sustainable seafood" that the leading guides recommend against serving based on what he described as "non-scientific reasons."
The four-course meal, which will also feature tiger prawns and hake, will be served at Legal Sea Foods' Park Square location in Boston on January 24. The full menu consists of "black tiger shrimp fritters, with chick peas, slab bacon, smoked tomato and avocado sauce, cod cheeks with spaghetti squash, toasted pecans, melting marrow gremola, and prosciutto-wrapped hake, with braised escarole, rancho gorgo beans and blood orange marmalade, together with wines."
