Sustainable Seafood That’s Good for People, Too

by kiwilog

If your family is one of eco-conscious fish eaters, you’re probably already familiar with the red, yellow, and green color codes indicating the sustainability of different seafood choices. Now, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has created a list of seafood dubbed super green—consisting of fish that’s not only the most sustainable, but also the most beneficial to your health.

At the top of the list? Albacore tuna, farmed mussels, farmed oysters, wild-caught Pacific sardines, wild-caught pink shrimp from Oregon, farmed rainbow trout, wild-caught salmon from Alaska, and wild-caught spot prawns from British Columbia—all high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and low in contaminants like mercury and PCBs.
