I understand when people speak about the ethical problems with eating meat, but I think they do not apply to fish.

    @Alue42 we used to have these in New Zealand. It was a card you could keep in your wallet, listed all the common eating fish from best to worst, with sustainable ones coded green at the top and endangered ones in red.

    But it was depressing over the years with each new edition to slowly see all those green fish turning orange and then red as each species became depleted.

      I just tried looking for you, and the most up to date I could find was for 2017. That’s disappointing, but slightly out of date is better than nothing.

        @Alue42

        By 2017 it had already happened - almost all the NZ fish had gone from the green zone and they’d started putting farmed shellfish and stuff caught in international waters at the top of the list to make up for it.

        I think those of us who care about our local marine environment seldom eat actual fish now. We don’t really need a guide any more.
