Anchovies - top of the list in terms of ecological sustainability

I am sure many of you enjoy eating fish for dinner and some of you may even go fishing from time to time.  Many of you will also be aware that there are ecological risks associated with various fishing methods and that many of the fish that we see in shops are species that are critically endangered from overfishing or habitat destruction.

It is important to be aware of the best fish to buy in order to minimise the ecological impact of fishing and to support healthy fish populations. To help us achieve this, the Best Fish Guide is a handy chart that provides easy interpretation of the best fish to purchase, and ones to definitely avoid. At this same link you can download a Best Fish Guide 12-13 mobile app too which is handy to have when out shopping.
