Sustainable seafood at the museum
The museum’s Yots Café is catered by Laissez-faire Catering, which uses seafood defined as sustainable by the Status of Australian Fish Stocks report produced by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation. This is the most comprehensive report on Australia’s fish stocks. Laissez-faire Catering focuses on the holistic life cycle of seafood and sources wild fish where possible, taking into consideration where the fish is caught and the amount they, as part of the food industry, source. Their seafood supplies are sourced from Cummins Seafood, an operator with more than 20 years' experience, meaning they understand what seafood they're getting, where it’s from and how it was raised or harvested. When available and sustainable, they source oysters from the south and north coasts of New South Wales. They buy whole fish and use every part possible to reduce waste. Caring in this way about how seafood is produced ultimately results in a better taste for the consumer.
