The Monterey Bay Aquarium has updated its Seafood Watch guide to sustainable buying of seafood from around the world.
New “Good Alternatives” under the Aquarium’s science-based program include U.S.-caught monkfish, American plaice, some flounder; and tilapia farmed in Taiwan and China.
The 2013 spring update of Seafood Watch gives consumers, chefs and businesses new ocean-friendly options, with several species joining the ”Good Alternatives” list, including previously overfished monkfish, some Atlantic flatfishes and farmed tilapia produced in Taiwan and China.
