3 Steps to Choosing More Sustainable Seafoods:
1) Avoid these species - they are overfished or heavily fished:
-
-Blue warehou (Trevally)
-
-Deepwater Shark / Schoolshark (flake, tope)
-
-Orange Roughy (sea perch)
-
-Eastern Gemfish (hake)
-
-Oreos (dory)
-
-Redfish (red snapper)
-
-Silver Trevally (silver bream)
-
-Southern Bluefin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna
-
-Broadbill Swordfish
And any fish raised in sea-cages.
2) Make a better choice - choose species that are more sustainable:
Whiting - instead of Oreos / dory
Bream - instead of Shark
Flathead - instead of Redifsh
Calamari - instead of Scallops
Tropical Trevally - instead of Tuna / Swordfish
3) Ask your fish merchant...
-
-What is the full name of the species?
-
-Which company caught it?
-
-What fishing method was used?
-
-Was this fish farmed or sustainably caught?
Avoid imported species unless they are environmentally certified.
