Forget Fillets: Why You Should Be Making Whole Jerk Fish

For Tiffany Derry, a Top Chef and Beard foundation Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change alum, reducing food waste and eating deliciously aren't mutually exclusive. Our #WasteNot woman of the hour employs plenty of tricks to save scraps from the bin, tap into limitless leftover possibilities, and figure out ways to transform wilted, wayward produce into sensational sides.

See this formidable food waste fighter in action with our #WasteNotWednesday video series, which kicks off today with Derry's recipe for whole jerk fish (pulled straight from the pages of our latest cookbook, Waste Not: How to Get the Most from Your Food). Check out the video above and stay tuned over the next few weeks for what comes after, as Derry turns Tupperware fare into tasty tacos, a rich broth, and more.
