Being a ‘pescatarian’ (vegetarian, who eats occasional fish) makes one acutely aware of the world’s radically depleted fish stocks. EcoFish are doing their bit to address this issue. The first US seafood distributor of sustainably certified seafood, this six year old enterprise, services over 1,000 grocery stores and 150 restaurants. Their ‘chain of custody’ certification is under the auspices of the international Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) program, modelled on the more well known Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Chefs can get info via EcoFish Direct. Packaged seafood products bear the MSC eco-label, so grocery customers can make informed decisons. ::EcoFish [by WM]
