FISH TO EAT best choices FISH TO EATproceed with caution FISH TO AVOID

These are your best seafood choices! These fish are abundant, well managed and caught or farmed in environmentally friendly ways.

These are good choices, but there are some concerns with the way they are caught, farmed or levels of mercury content. They are however, better choices than items in the “Fish to Avoid” column.

Avoid these products, at least for now. These fish come from sources that are overfished, caught or farmed in ways that harm other marine life or the environment. Some species may have high levels of mercury content.
