Summary
Actor Ted Danson is well known for Cheers and Curb Your Enthusiasm, but he is also a passionate advocate for ocean health and founder of Oceana. Ted and ocean scientist Dr. Daniel Pauly talk about sustainability, how to enjoy fish responsibily, and the impact that industrial fishing is having on global climate change. I also offer a couple of delicious (and sustainable) fish recipes inspired by my trip to Bermuda, and I answer your questions on “real sourdough,” expiration dates, and the perfect easy dessert.

| 0:36.7 | that lots of people ask me about when it comes to global cuisines. |
| 0:40.7 | There is something magical about eating a cuisine in the place where it originated. |
| 0:45.0 | One of the reasons for that is that the dishes that define a cuisine are built around the produce that's native to a place. |

| 1:05.0 | And not surprisingly, one of the best ways to get a sense for how something should taste |
| 1:10.8 | is to visit a region of the world and sample a dish in several forms from lots of different |
| 1:16.1 | neighboring areas. Then you can appreciate the local variations as well. And the most efficient way to do that, |
