Sustainable seafood guide

With the growing popularity of seafood, it’s more important than ever to be aware of where your fish comes from and to protect it at the source. Use these resources to stay on top of which fish it’s healthy to eat ― for you, our rivers, and our oceans.

Seafood Watch

Spearheaded by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Seafood Watch program keeps people up to date about endangered fish. Print a wallet-size card for easy reference, then simply commit a few good fish to memory. The list changes seasonally, so check back often.
