In a coastal town like Monterey, seafood isn't just part of the dining experience -- it's part of the culture. At Montrio, serving seafood means more than offering delicious dishes from the sea. It's about making conscious choices that protect marine life and promote a thriving ocean for generations to come.
The Seafood Watch program was developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium to help both consumers and businesses make better seafood choices that support healthy oceans. It evaluates fisheries and fish farms across the globe based on environmental criteria.
Pacific Halibut -- Caught using hook-and-line methods, listed as a "Best Choice" thanks to strong population health and minimal environmental impact.
Monterey Bay Sardines -- Locally sourced sardines from one of the best-managed fisheries in the world.
California Dungeness Crab -- Sourced from fisheries that avoid sensitive habitats and reduce bycatch risk.
U.S. Farmed Rainbow Trout -- Raised in land-based systems with strong environmental oversight.
Our ocean-friendly menu proves that doing good for the planet doesn't mean sacrificing taste. Every seafood dish is designed to bring out the natural beauty of the ingredient while honoring its origin.
