While it may feel like the most sustainable seafood choice would be the most local one, that’s not always the case. With conflicting definitions of the word “local,” the distances fish travel over their lifetimes, and the complexities of the seafood supply chain, finding ocean-friendly seafood means looking beyond the "local" label and into how the product itself was caught.
Still of Dan Averill, US Senior Fisheries Manager, from Conver-sea-tions video series
With seafood, defining “local” options becomes even harder. Fish don’t follow borders on maps, and many can spend their life cycles across various global waterways before being caught and sold at your local fish market.
So, how can you be sure that you’re both supporting local and sustainable fishing practices?
