Tijs Stumphius 11/15/2024 6:17 AMI have learned that you can eat seafood sustainibility if you look for certifications at the product you buy and see where it's from. There are multiple certifictions who tell al other things. Usually seafood without a certification or from countries far away in Asia for example is less sustainable than fishes from the pacific ocean. It is also better to eat little fishes where there are more from, than fishes like sharks.
