So, what makes Sea Forager seafood “sustainable”?
Good question! Sea Forager Seafood adheres to the most conservative definition of sustainability. It’s a fascinating conversation, and one that we’re passionate about.
Working with my local fisher-friends and my partners at Two x Sea our criteria are as follows:
The harvesting of all fish we sell has left more than enough fish for future generations, and caused no habitat destruction
There is no loss of marine life through bycatch in the harvesting process
Farming products we sell did not involve: use of chemicals or medicines, adverse use of feed from wild sources, introduction of non-native species into local fisheries, or inflict economic adversity on families and communities
The person who caught the fish was paid fairly for the work they did to bring it to you
The fish can be traced back to the vessel that caught the fish, and proper guarantees are in place regarding the honest origin of the fish
The fish comes from as local an area as possible, thus reducing carbon emissions and restoring regional cuisine
Or to put it another way…
The salmon were caught by fisherman Jake in the eye of a wild Pacific gale, four miles off Bolinas
The night smelt are so fresh they still smell of cucumber
The petrale sole were caught by the only Scottish seine on the entire Pacific Coast of North America
You could have a beer with most of your fishermen because they operate nearby
Your fillets will arrive in a compostable/biodegradable bag - less plastic waste!
We’re supporting healthy, abundant oceans by partnering with the The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program
Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch® program helps consumers and businesses make choices for healthy oceans.
In fact, our standards are even stricter than theirs.
We are the only CSF that does not serve dragged fish, and since July 2019 we have been packaging our deliveries in fully compostable-biodegradable bags.
When you eat Sea Forager seafood, it isn't just a package of fish you're getting, but the WHOLE story.
We ALWAYS tell you when, where, how and who caught your fish, because we believe that sustainability begins with radical transparency.
