BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

Taking a few seconds to consider our eco-best fish options at the store or a restaurant is easy, and if enough of us do it, we'll go a long way toward making sure seafood's around for future generations.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

The Guinness Book of World Records got rid of its live-goldfish-eating category, because shady competitors were breeding smaller fish.

How fine's your kettle of fish?

The Bite

Only as fine as it is sustainable. When shopping for seafood, take along an easy-to-use pocket guide or tap into a phone-text service that'll help you determine whether that Chilean sea bass is eco-friendly-fine enough for your kettle.

 

The Benefits

 

Keeping sea critters around. Scientists predict that there will be no more seafood by 2048 unless we change current (unsustainable) fishing methods.

Simplicity. These methods make buying sustainable seafood so easy, even a Plunket's dogfish could do it.

 

Personally Speaking

The FishPhone service took the Ideal Bite team by storm when we learned about it; even those of us who don't like seafood stored the number so that we can show off to our friends.

 

Wanna Try?

 

Blue Ocean Institute FishPhone - send a text to 30644 with the message FISH in all caps, followed by the name of the fish you want to know about, and it'll fire back sustainability info on that species.

Oceans Alive - download a pocket seafood selector and check its up-to-date list for the skinny on the most and least sustainable fish.

NRDC - mercury info and another pocket-sized seafood selector that focuses on mercury levels.
