It’s that time of year again – a time to reflect and look ahead to a new year of possibilities. In that same vein, we recently asked Chef Andrew Zimmern what he’s focusing on in 2019.

Not only is he a James Beard Award-winning TV personality and chef, but he is also a writer, teacher, and star of Andrew Zimmern’s Driven by Food, The Zimmern List and Food Network’s Big Food Truck Tip.

At the end of the night, Lance was sunning off to a off trail race in Leadville, CO. His parting words to the crowd were “People will watch this film and exclaim, 'Oh my God!' We can’t just let it go up on Surfline and say. ‘Ok, here’s 16 minutes, check it out. This is only the beginning of an important conversation that we have to keep going!”.

Unlike any other documentary short film about aquaculture, this one takes you on a journey through the eyes of an environmentally conscious 10-time Paddleboard World Champion and Professional Big Wave Surfer, Jamie Mitchell. By capturing this unique relationship on camera, we can bring this real journey to Verlasso’s communities. A convincing story that gives sense of place, sense of time, and sense of care at every level. A true sense of well-being, convincingly portrayed through the eyes of the surfer.
When the ocean is your home, office and a place you eagerly await to visit to restore your peace and tranquility – you tend to care for it just a bit more than others do. 2018 was set from the very beginning to be a journey of deepening our love and understanding for the ocean and how every decision we make as an industry affects ecosystems, livelihoods and precious resources. As an aquaculture company, it is important to reach outside the boundaries of the farm and to illuminate the environmental and ocean issues in a real-life setting.
The Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner on Christmas Eve has been an Italian-American tradition for many years. It is typically a lengthy dinner with at least seven fish or seafood courses, sometimes as many as twelve depending upon the family. The fish that are included and how they are prepared depend upon the long-standing traditions of the family. At Verlasso, our celebration is easy to agree on, so we decided to put our spin on this tradition and have a "Feast of the Seven Salmons"!
Dinner time should be a time to disconnect from the outside world. A safe haven to talk about the happenings in your life and the lives of those seated with you. A designated time to decompress, connect with loved ones and remove yourself from everyday stressors.
