Sweet Sustainability at Harney Sushi

"Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live, and let's change the way we treat each other" - Tupac Amaru Shakur

We at Harney Sushi invite you to join us in our dedication to sustainability. Please read on to learn more about the changes we've made to our menu and our hopes for you to join us in this special and influential movement of environmental responsibility.

SUSTAINABILITY DEFINED:
Maintaining our restaurants in an ecologically responsible manner as possible by not using ingredients that are either over fished or that in their production have a negative impact on the environment.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

The traditional cuisine of sushi is destroying our oceans. We are acutely aware that the restaurant industry has a very harmful impact on the environment; therefore, we will now strive to maintain ecological integrity at Harney Sushi. We have chosen the path less taken and are doing our best to abstain from the use of over-fished and environmentally harmful ingredients. As a result, our vast menu does not offer traditional sushi ingredients such as Toro, Bluefin Tuna, Big Eye Tuna, certain Yellowfin, Unagi, Red Snapper, Hamachi, Maine Sea Urchin, and Octopus. With this new ethos, Harney Sushi appeals to the growing population of sushi lovers who care enough about our planet to change the way they eat; they realize that consumerism, along with the public zeal for exotic seafood, is sucking the breath out of our oceans. Together, with our enlightened customers, we strive to eat in such a way that is nourishing for our bodies, our planet, and our souls.



Elle Communications PRESS RELEASE:

Harney Sushi is proud to announce its recent transition to a sustainable seafood menu at its Old Town and Oceanside locations.

Inspired after lengthy research on sustainable seafood, owner Dustin Summerville and chefs Anthony Sinsay and Robert Ruiz collectively realized the impact their busy restaurants have on the environment, and the importance of being environmentally responsible.

“We have always been committed to serving the highest quality food to our customers, and we’re proud to announce that our commitment is now expanding to include responsibly-sourced seafood,” said Summerville. “We want to provide San Diego’s eco-savvy eaters a socially-responsible menu that certainly doesn’t skimp on flavor or fun.”

The sustainable seafood transition of the Harney Sushi menu includes eliminating traditional sushi ingredients, such as Toro, Bluefin Tuna, Big Eye Tuna, certain types of Yellowfin, Unagi, Red Snapper, Hamachi, Maine Sea Urchin, and Octopus. High-in-demand, but short-in-supply, these specific types of fish deplete resources that prevent them from establishing systems of sustainability.

“With this new ethos, Harney Sushi appeals to a growing population of sushi lovers who care enough about our planet to change the way they eat. Together with our customers, we strive to eat in such a way that is nourishing for our bodies, our planet, and our souls.”

Fisherman’s Daughter Wild Caught Shrimp

Atlantic striped bass are at record levels as a result of effective fishery management and strong conservation actions. Striped bass farms in the U.S. are well-managed.

Since there are no wild hybrid striped bass, disease or escape is not a risk to wild populations.

Pole and Line caught Yellow fin Tuna
Our Yellow fin tuna is Line caught off the coast of General Santos, Philippines and is able to be fished year round because of its responsible, traditional Hand line catching methods this eliminates catching other species like dolphins and also prevents from over fishing.

Nook Dining @ Harney Sushi

Harney Sushi is introducing an all-new social dining experience beginning August 5. Named after the private booth tucked away at the Old Town location, Nook Dining will offer guests a taste of modern and original cuisine prepared by Executive Chef Anthony Sinsay.

“Nook Dining is a fun concept that will allow both foodies and inexperienced diners to enjoy a variety of flavors and textures in one sitting,” said Sinsay. “I am always changing the menu and experimenting with new ingredients, so this will give me a chance to express my creativity while giving guests a taste of my cooking style. Not only will guests enjoy the food, it will also be a fun way for them to connect with other Harney fans in a social setting.”

Taking place on the first Tuesday of every month, guests will have the opportunity to savor a completely unique seven-course meal prepared using cutting-edge technique, inspired concepts and local and sustainable products. Chef Anthony will showcase an exclusive tasting menu for each event based on a distinct theme of seasonality, local events, or great eras in dining with a new and exciting twist.

The Nook Dining booth can seat up to six guests and reservations are available in even-number parties. The booth can be reserved for a private party or guests are invited to enjoy the meal while mingling with unfamiliar faces.

Nook Dining is priced at $95 per person and includes both food and drink pairings. To make a reservation for Nook Dining, guests can call the Old Town reservations line at 619-295-3272.

The Harney Re-Evolution

Over the past two years at Harney our staff has made strides to evolve ourselves into better cooks and better chefs. As a whole I believe that we have learned, grown and found a way to reignite flames in ourselves with curiosity. In short our passion and commitment for what we do is stronger than ever. We have spent the past few months finding ways to evolve our techniques and understand the how’s and why’s of our food. Why something tastes good? Why it becomes a particular texture? How we can achieve the best results?

Our Owners Dustin and Kirk understand this evolution and with our tenth year approaching have decided that it’s time for a new era to begin at Harney. A new look but familiar feel is taking place in the walls of our Flagship restaurant. This will translate itself onto our menus at Harney. Classics re interpreted with familiar flavors and new presentations will take center stage on our dynamic new menu. Seasonality will take large roles in our ever changing dishes. Local produce is a passion of mine and proper techniques take over. We have established our kitchens as progressive and forward thinking, in this menu we will showcase good honest cooking with attention to detail and an emphasis on great ingredients with a few surprises and tricks thrown in for good measure. More thought and composition will go into these small plates so that it reflects the playfulness and whimsy we have with our food. For the New Year we offer a fresh start, fresh look and fresh approach. Drop date will be announced soon, Stay tuned! Happy New Year!

-Executive Chef Anthony Sinsay
