Notes:
Bun Lai's important restaurant goal is to have their cuisine return to the roots of sushi, which simply means to use what they have available around them including invasive species. One easy solution to get rid of invasive species is to eat them. You can collect invasive seafood on shellfish beds this is basically providing us a free weeding service. One species that he serve is an Asian sea squirt which has taken over the blue mussel habitat from Maine to New Jersey. This specie comes from the Philippines and is also considered a fouling organisms and a pest by the shellfish industry. Invasive species such as the wild boar and Asian carp is destroying farms and fisheries. Which causes economic damage estimated at $120 billion a year.
Reflection:
I think Bun Lai is doing something awesome! I feel like eating the invasive species is a great idea because it could help the biodiversity in the ecosystem. I believe if we were to eat more invasive species our native species will come back slowly. I find it really hard to believe that economic damage from the wild boar and Asian carp is $120 billion dollars from them destroying farms and fisheries, that is unacceptable and crazy.
- An important goal of ours is to have our cuisine return to the roots of sushi, meaning simply to use what we have available where we live.
- Often what we find now are invasive species—unwanted plants and animals that humans have introduced to ecosystems.
- Invasive species such as the wild boar and Asian carp are destroying farms and fisheries, causing economic damage that has been estimated at $120 billion a year.
- Eat them. By collecting invasive seafood on shellfish beds, for instance, we basically provide a free weeding service.
