We are a certified Ocean Wise partner.
We choose our seafood options based on the Vancouver Aquarium's sustainability recommendations. The choices are based on current research and limiting damage to our ocean habitats. Seafood with this symbol have been caught in manners that limit accidental by catch of other species, specifically endangered ocean life.

Look for the Ocean Wise symbol to select the most sustainable options.

We are also a part of the Wild Salmon Supporters Network, in an effort to collaborate with other local supporters and promote the important cause.

Reduce
We are committed to reducing our carbon and ecological footprint and by participating in the Ocean Wise program and the Green Table Network we are doing what we can to do so.

Reuse
When ordering for your next event or corporate lunch, choose our re-usable, washable ceramic platters instead of disposable containers. We also have a re-usable bento box, for a more modern presentation. Also, please consider our linen napkins as an alternative to paper disposable napkins. Call us at 604-734-2507 to discuss these options.

Recycle
Once your party has ended, we recycle every part possible. From containers, to paper products, we make sure to reduce our waste. We don't want to throw the food away. Instead, we drop food leftovers to local shelters, to help the community and reduce disposal.
