How to:

Know if the fish you're eating is sustainable

What´s the deal with red roman? Is yellowtail an endangered species? Click to find out how to check the status and origin of the fish and seafood you are using to ensure it's from the safe, sustainable list.

Note on fish on the orange lis: torange fish such as kingklip is sometimes available from Woolworths. It's important to note that although retailers may legally sell species on the orange list, Woolworths suppliers source kingklip from only hake fisheries approved by the Marine Stewardship Council so they can be sure that the fish is a non-targeted by-catch to hake. Woolworths will not sell by-catch that is targeted, overfished or from a non-accredited fishery, or if the catch method results in environmental damage.

Ingredients:
4 green mangoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Arrange the avocado wedges on four plates and top with the sliced tuna and mango salad. Spoon the pulp from the granadillas onto each plate and scatter with chives. Season to taste.


Cook’s note:
Green mangoes are available from specialty delis and spice stores. If you can’t get your hands on them, use ripe mango or thinly sliced green apple.

TASTE’s take:

A symbol of life and eternal bliss, the mango has moved from its third-world background to its rightful place as the world’s most luscious of fruits, with a versatile, exotic taste that holds its own in a variety of recipes. A perfect summer dish, this salad is also delicious without the fish – simply add thinly sliced cucumber and serve with a Thai curry.
