Fishadelphia

The Philadelphia Citizen
by Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

At a local seafood conference in 2016, marine scientist Dr. Talia Young heard a complaint that’s common in the seafood industry: Americans only know how to eat cod and salmon filets—and we need to teach them how to eat other kinds of fish.

“I was like, You’re just not talking to the right Americans,” she says.

That moment six years ago sparked a realization for Young: local seafood was not being marketed to some of the communities in the United States that she thought were likely to be most interested in it. Young, who is Chinese-American, wanted to find a way to connect the Black and Asian communities she had grown up around to local seafood.
