I grew up eating fish and I never felt conflicted about it. At least not until I got to know my Gam, who studies fish for a living. But still, the fish in Maine is delicious, and I’m glad I have the Seafood Watch, Sustainable Seafood Guide published by the Monterey Bay Aquarium to help me and my family make smart choices about what fish we eat.
This guide tells us which fish are the best choices for eating based on the environmental conditions of its fishing or production. There are four ratings: Best Choices, Good Alternatives, Avoid, and The Super Green List. You can download a guide for your region of the United States, or search a fish online here. They even have a mobile device application.
