Seafood Watch is a must-have app for anyone who eats seafood! Produced by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Seafood Watch is an extremely informative guide to sustainable seafood. You can enter the name of any type of seafood or sushi in the search bar and it will tell you the “Best Choice” and some “Good Alternatives” for the type of fish you’re looking for. It also takes into account the fish that are being over-farmed and other environmental factors. If you don’t have a particular fish in mind but want to know what would be a good choice you can look at the lists for both seafood and sushi, which list the “Best Choice”, a “Good Alternative” and which fish to “Avoid”. If you tap on the name of the fish, it will give you a summary of information about the species, consumers notes, and places to find it near you. Overall, Seafood Watch is very useful and has a huge amount of valuable information for any seafood lover!
