Sustainable Aquaculture
Aquaculture seafood is milder in taste and has a higher fat content than wild-caught seafood, making it versatile for both simple and luxurious dishes. All our aquaculture products are certified by third parties like the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), Global GAP, and Fair Trade.
To ensure the long-term health of our oceans and meet global demand, sustainable aquaculture complements wild fisheries and helps restore environments and wild stocks over time.
