“I feed my family fish because it's low fat and for the omega 3s.”

We need to look carefully at the sources of omega 3s we choose. Many fisheries around the world are fully exploited or overfished. Eating too many fish too fast is bad for the planet’s heath, and therefore, our own..

You can find good sources of omega 3s through SeaChoice "Best Choices". Anchovies, sardines, herring and mackerel all eat low on the food chain, reproduce rapidly and contain high amounts of DHA and EPA. As well, species lower on the marine food chain are less likely to have accumulated toxins in their flesh.

Bring Canada’s Seafood Guide along to restaurants and fish shops. Remember to ask for sustainable seafood.

Fact:
Over the last century commercial fisheries have drastically reduced fish populations and altered the oceans’ ecosystems. The world's fisheries have been badly mismanaged. Over half of all fish stocks have been fully exploited, 16 percent are over-exploited and seven percent are depleted.
