Abstract:
Like "farm to table," "sea to table" encourages restaurants and their distributors to obtain food from local producers and harvesters.

The author's evidence that overcoming such barriers is worthwhile includes national market research. It asserts that people, when offered the option, would rather have locally grown or harvested foods.
