Sustainable Seafood Restaurants: 2024 Edition

We’re fortunate to have good-quality seafood available most of the year in Virginia. The waterways of the Chesapeake are famous for their blue crabs, oysters, and rockfish.

But you probably know that the health of the Chesapeake Bay is a little precarious. The good news is you can enjoy excellent seafood and help improve our waterways by making smart, sustainable choices when you dine.

Sustainable seafood is either caught or farmed using methods that consider fishery populations’ long-term health and the oceans’ well-being. Your dining dollars go a long way toward creating a thriving, sustainable seafood economy while simultaneously preserving a way of life for many fishing communities.
