13 Grocery Store Chains That Offer High-Quality Fresh Seafood - Tasting Table

Serving the Midwest and Southern U.S., Hy-Vee knows that consumers want simple, quick answers for buying nutritious, sustainably sourced fish. Instead of featuring a variety of confusing labels and signs, its simplified Responsible Choice program makes seafood shopping easy for consumers. According to Nate Stewart, VP-perishables for Hy-Vee, "Some retailers have six or seven different qualifications or logos or signs that they'll put their sustainable seafood under. We have one: Responsible Choice." Some excellent options that bear this label include scallops, cod, fresh tuna, mussels, and tilapia.

This program closely aligns with Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, a nonprofit that publishes guides and other resources to help consumers choose sustainable seafood. Similar to Whole Foods' program, items that Seafood Watch greenlights as "best choice" or "good alternative" qualify for the Responsible Choice seal.

But that's not the only reason this supermarket gets high grades from Greenpeace. Hy-Vee will not sell any genetically modified or genetically engineered seafood. They've partnered with Businesses for Bristol Bay to protect the region from the devastating consequences of toxic runoff on marine life, especially wild salmon, protecting fisheries and the local community. Hy-Vee is a forward-thinking supermarket, committed to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of supporting Life Below Water. It is employee-owned, features its own gym, and employs on-site dieticians at many locations, helping you create delicious seafood dishes.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
