Successful chefs and restaurateurs share a passion for sourcing and serving fantastic food. The information summarised here in the Good Catch Manual is designed to help you make responsible decisions as to which seafood to put on your menu. Purchasing has power; sourcing responsibly helps ensure that you and your customers can enjoy a diverse array of seafood now and into the future. By doing so you support marine biodiversity and the livelihoods of those who rely on it.
This Manual brings together key seafood sustainability information in one easy-to-use resource. Useful background information will help you to understand the general principles of seafood sustainability, including sections on:
