Sports Dietitians: Overcoming Sustainable Seafood Sourcing Challenges! I've learned a few things over the years...and now its time I share them with you. How 4 Challenges Became Opportunities. Navigating the sustainable seafood sourcing world is akin to sailing through uncharted waters. It's complex, but for sports dietitians, the rewards in athletic performance are unmatched. Here’s a dive into how each challenge faced in sourcing can actually propel us forward: → Limited Availability—Forge direct relationships with local fishermen. It ensures wild-caught, higher-quality catches straight to your athletes. If you can’t do that, work with someone who has direct relationships with local, small-boat fishermen. → Cost Concerns—Invest in bulk buying with other departments or organizations. Economies of scale make premium seafood more accessible. → Seasonal Variations—Use these as an opportunity to diversify diets. Different seasons bring different nutrients to the table, optimizing performance. → Supply Chain Transparency—Ask for traceability. Knowing the journey from sea to plate increases confidence in quality. In overcoming these challenges, not only do we elevate the nutritional standards for our athletes, but we also champion the cause for a healthier ocean. It's a win-win where the pursuit of performance meets planetary health. Ready to set sail? Follow me for more seafood industry insight. #sportsdietitian #seafoodindustry
