The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program has upgraded the sustainability rating of several West Coast groundfish.
All groundfish caught in California, Oregon and Washington are now either a “Good Alternative” or “Best Choice.”
Among the upgraded species are trawl- and longline-caught Rockfish, and Dover, English and Rex sole.
More than 2,200 brands making more than 20,000 products now are verified by the non-GMO Project.
