Restaurant Warns Diners Not To Eat Its Endangered Tuna Dish

The famous restaurant chain Nobu has added advisories about bluefin tuna to the menus at its London restaurants, warning customers that the fish is "environmentally challenged." The warning adds: "Please ask your server for an alternative." "They shouldn't sell endangered species. They should change their menu to incorporate a fish that's sustainable and not one that's critically endangered," said Giles Bartlett, senior policy officer for WWF. Other dishes that have raised eyebrows in the past, including panda sashimi and manatee tempura, remain on the menu without an advisory.

The more endangered an animal is, the better it tastes.
