So let's say you're out for a night on the town, getting ready to order dinner, but aren't sure which fish is which; when it comes to planetary impact, is Atlantic salmon better than Alaskan, or the other way around? You know some are more sustainable than others, but committing it all to memory is tough. Now you don't have to worry-there's a guide available as a text-messaging service, so you can figure it out, right at the restaurant-aptly named FishPhone.

Just text 30644 on your cell phone with the message "FISH" and the fish you want to know about; a matter of seconds later, you'll have an answer about the relative sustainability of your potential meal. If mobile Web-browsing is more your game, FishPhone has you covered, as does the Monterey Bay Aquarium. ::FishPhone and ::Monterey Bay Aquarium Mobile Seafood Guide via ::Gristmill
