As good citizens of our neighborhood —on both land

It may be surprising to learn that 90% of seafood presently consumed in
the United States is imported, half of which is farmed in countries that have
far fewer environmental regulations than ours. However, our local Virginia
fishermen, along with many fishermen around the US, provide some of the safest
and most environmentally friendly seafood in the world.
Choosing locally caught or Virginia-raised seafood not only ensures
freshness and sustainability, but supports our economy as well.
As good citizens of our neighborhood —on both land and sea
—Waterman’s Surfside Grille supports the Sensible Seafood program by
purchasing and serving sensible seafood whenever possible.
Sensible seafood comes from local and sustainable sources that are not
over-fished or harvested in environmentally destructive ways. Throughout our menu,
look for the Sensible Seafood logo to help guide you into making sustainable,
ocean-friendly seafood choices. Working together, we can ensure that today’s
sensible choices allow for delicious seafood to be enjoyed for generations to come.
Live and love our ocean!
