The Conch Podcast- Trish Whetstone
Seafood is critical in terms of feeding the world, providing valuable jobs, and addressing the climate crisis, but many don't know what to buy or how to prepare it. How do we build seafood literacy so that people are empowered with the knowledge and confidence they need to face the seafood counter?
In this episode of The Conch podcast, we chat with Trish Whetstone, a Canadian-based food literacy educator, writer, and fishmonger on a mission to simplify the seafood experience. Trish translates the complexities of the seafood industry into real talk for fish curious folk through engaging hands-on workshops, events, and experiences.
