Sourcing fish responsibly is paramount to our business. We passionately believe in promoting the most sustainable products available to us.
Our links with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) demonstrates our commitment to the view that we need to work within the industry to help develop, market and guide our customers towards sustainable choices and alternatives. Here are some examples of the long term industry defining programs we continue to work with. |

Marine Conservation Society, (MCS)
The Marine Conservation Society is the UK charity dedicated to caring for our seas, shores, and wildlife.
The MCS aquaculture and fisheries program promotes sustainable seafood consumption through its consumer awareness program and by working directly with the seafood industry.
The MCS encourages restaurants to buy sustainable seafood, and to use their skills to serve unusual, sustainable, seafood to customers in an attractive, tasty way, thus helping to relieve pressure on traditional, often over-fished, species. They also work in collaboration with the Good Catch Group to help the food service industry navigate the world of sustainable seafood. This includes providing clear information in the form of a manual with MCS seafood sustainability ratings, as well as practical support and training.
The MCS traffic light system has become the go-to-guide used by restaurants and caterers in the UK to assess the sustainability of both wild and farm caught fish. Using scientific data from numerous sources, the MCS updates their ratings twice a year on their website - www.fishonline.org.
This easy to use web site, as well as the Good Fish Guide app which can be easily downloaded, is the perfect tool to use to ensure the best choices are made in choosing sustainable seafood when developing menus.
Over the years, we have been great supporters of the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), and also use their ratings as a guide to best sourcing practice. We believe that the MCS play a vital role in supporting our message to our customers that sustainability is vitally important to a productive and successful fishing industry that supports the food service sector.
