Sustainability is a hot topic now and more people are starting to look for ecological and environmentally friendly ways to help preserve our future. However not everyone knows what and how to find it. Enter the new Greenfish Sushi opened by local Calgary Chefs Darren MacLean and Duncan Ly who focuses their entire business model on sustainability and making it accessible for all.
Everything at Greenfish is made with sustainability at the forefront. Starting with their oceanwise seafood - their name Greenfish is derived from the green list of fish on the oceanwise site, which signifies fish that are not endangered - down to the 100% compostible takeaway boxes and utensils. They’ve taken the guess work out of being environmentally friendly and allowed the customers to know that they’re doing their part by dining there.
The sushi and sashimi at Greenfish is fresh and delectable taking a page out of Chef Darren MacLean’s flagship restaurant - Shokunin. The head sushi rice chef from Shokunin has been on hand training staff on how to prepare the rice and both chefs have been overseeing the making of the sushi. They have put a very high standard on the quality of what you’re getting when you dine there.
I got to sample the omakase box which comes with 6 pieces of nigiri sushi, 3 rolls, sashimi, miso soup, edamame and all the accompaniments. Each piece of sushi was handled with care and tasted amazing. This is definitely not your typical food court sushi. This sushi can easily be at a high end sushi restaurants but now you can get it to go. As mentioned previously their entire omakase box is compostible, so once you’re done, everything goes in the compost bin. Makes for a great meal and easy cleanup which won’t leave you feeling wasteful.
The first of its kind where fast food meets sustainability meets restaurant quality. If you’re hoping to try the sushi but don’t live close to Avenida Food Hall don’t worry there are plans to expand operations across Canada but right now the focus is on Calgary. Fingers crossed for a North and downtown location for those in the North!
