Tips to know for on-the-go
One major tip we suggest is having your phone handy and always referring to the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch website.
Locally sourced is always going to be best! If there is something that you like and isn’t from the U.S. be sure to ask for the country of origin, species and how it was caught.
Pole and line caught is always best as it usually means that it is coming from smaller boats.
