Did you know? October is National Seafood Month and the US is recognized as a global leader in sustainable seafood for both wild-caught + farmed species.

That fact inspired restaurants like AVL’s The Lobster Trap to commit to sustainable seafood practices — and it’s keeping our underwater ecosystem alive.

The Lobster Trap partners with the James Beard Foundation’s Smart Catch program which promotes thoughtfully sourced seafood + environmentally-responsible fisheries across the country. Read: Fresh fish available in the for-sea-able future. 🦞
