Eat Sustainable Seafood VERY GOOD Anchovies, mackerel, sardines WHY Low in contaminant levels, high in omega-3s, resilient to fishing pressure, able to reproduce quickly
GOOD Wild mussels, oysters, Alaskan salmon, albacore tuna WHY Some concerns about capture, but no significant damage to habitats or species
BAD Chilean sea bass, orange roughy, Atlantic cod, Atlantic salmon, bluefin and yellowfin tuna, farmed salmon WHY Wild species depleted due to overfishing; bluefin and yellowfin tuna have high mercury levels; farmed salmon contain known carcinogens and are fed pellets made of wild fish
