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.
