This new series will celebrate sensible and scrumptious seafood choices with the help of renowned Washington DC chefs.

As part of a growing stategy coined Eat 'Em to Beat 'Em, the National Aquarium will embark on a week-long trip to the Bahamas on February 20, 2011 with Chef Xavier Deshayes, Executive Chef for the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, to collect, prepare and ship the fish that will be served just days later at the Aquarium’s first Fresh Thoughts dinner.]]></description>
