SHOP SUSTAINABLE WILD FISH

Are you wondering if eating fish, especially wild fish, is truly sustainable? The answer is yes, but it is up to us, the consumer, to be informed to make the proper choices. Here are three things to remember when purchasing fish for your family.

The US leads the way in responsible fisheries management. Under these regulations, domestic wild fish are the most sustainable on the planet. Sea to Table only sells domestic seafood caught on our very own shores.

Farming fish can place a significant burden on the natural environment. There are the diseases that transmit to wild populations, pollution by chemicals and waste, and the impact on local species when non-native fish escape into the wild. Sea to Table does not sell farmed fish, ever.

SHOP SUSTAINABLE WILD FISH

Over 90% of the fish we eat is imported. That's a big problem, because some of these countries turn a blind eye to things like overfishing and excessive bycatch. So check the Country of Origin labels at the supermarket and ask your server at the restaurant about the origins of the fish they serve.

Or simply check the traceability label on Sea to Table's packaging, which tells you the exact species, the Port of Landing, and often even the name of the fishing vessel that landed it!
