Thought this was a great idea- it comes from Gourmet's Ruth Reichel:
You're in a restaurant that you trust, perusing the menu, and you notice that they're serving monkfish. But wait, isn't monkfish problematic? Has something changed? You wish there were some way to check quickly before you order. Well, now there is. Pull out your phone and text Blue Ocean Institute's new Fishphone at 30644 with the word fish and the name of the fish you want to know about. A few seconds later, you get your answer. What do they have to say about monkfish? "Some environmental concerns." Not into texting? Fishphone.org will get you the same information. —Ruth Reichl
