Feed 8 Friends for Under $100 with this Green Frugal Feast: Sustainable Fish Fry
If you're looking for a delicious excuse for a midsummer get together, try a sustainable fish fry. A fish fry can be sustainable if you choose the right fish. Stay away from any fish that's larger than about the size of a salmon and check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Guide to ensure that you're making the best fish choice for the planet.
