Just how in the hell DO you eat more sustainable fish?!
Thank god for the Monterey Bay Aquarium, otherwise I'd have no idea. They've given us a groovy wallet/purse/pocket size list of sustainable fish choices. I have to whip this baby out every time I go to the store. If you see a fish on the ice but aren't sure how it was caught, don't be afraid to ask. These fish come in daily and the butcher has a lot of info.
Keep in mind that fishing methods can also be unsustainable, even if the fish is a sustainable fish. Trawling, for example, is a common method in which a boat drags a net across the ocean floor, and all manner of sea life gets caught in the nets--dolphins, turtles, etc.
Don't see any sustainable choices? Go Na'vi on their ass.
Monterey Bay also released an app for your smartphone:
