Blue Water Café: A Special Ocean Wise Partner

In January 2011, at the 6th Annual Unsung Heroes Festival, Executive chef Frank Pabst’s Unsung Heroes took center stage at Blue Water Cafe. A champion of our coastal fisheries, and protective of commercially endangered species, chef Pabst created the Unsung Heroes six years ago. His concept is simple: avoid species that are over-fished, or fished in ways that damage ocean beds or cause unnecessary by-catch, by introducing diners to new experiences and flavours using species found in abundance. Tasting plates included, red sea urchin, sardine, sea cucumber and jellyfish.

Ten percent of the Unsung Heroes menu proceeds have been donated to the Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise sustainable seafood program of which Blue Water Cafe is one of its founding members.
