Executive chef Helene An created a six-course tasting menu that included Chilean sea bass and roasted crab.
Hey Al, don't you know that eating Chilean Sea Bass is considered "politically incorrect"
Finally, a similar call to action has been launched by the National Environmental Trust (NET) to "Take a Pass on Chilean Sea Bass." The popular menu item, which was named the Patagonian toothfish in the Eighties when it was discovered, was renamed for a more euphemistic marketing angle when commercial fishing of the species began in 1996. The PR buzz worked only too well. Seven years later, the toothfish is so dramatically endangered that experts predict the species will be extinct in five years. Reasons for the drastic decline include market demand as well as the nature of the species, which grows slowly, lives as long as a human, and only starts to reproduce at about ten years. Thanks to this late onset of puberty, many of the fish that are being caught are younger than that, a situation that is clearly "not biologically viable," says scientist Beth C. Clark, director of the Antarctica Project and consultant to the Take a Pass initiative. http://www.asoc.org/Press/Fisheries/SeaBassCampaign/Long%20Live%20Chilean%20Sea%20Bass.htm

Don’t tell me that. It tastes great. Not to mention the roasted crab part.
