WWF’s Seafood Guide

As part of their Seafood Choice Initiative to encourage people to choose what seafood they eat responsibly, WWF Hong Kong have also published a Seafood Guide. In it seafood is broken down into 3 categories:

  • Recommended
  • Think Twice – Ask for its origin and production method
  • Avoid

Whether you are at a restaurant or at the supermarket this gives you the chance to choose seafood from the recommended category.

Unlike some people I know, WWF are not insisting on people giving up seafood altogether, but just encouraging us all to choose what we eat with consideration of the marine environment.

There is a PDF version of the Seafood Guide that you can download, print out, fold up and put in your bag so you’ve got it when you need it. You can download it from WWF’s website.
