The Marine Conservation
Society’s Pocket Good Fish
Guide puts YOU in control.
YOU can safeguard the future of our fisheries and
other marine wildlife by only choosing fish from
sustainable sources.
The Pocket Good Fish Guide lists which fish are
the best sustainable choice, fish you should avoid
completely, and the fish you can eat just occasionally,
to limit pressure on their stocks.
Getting the most out of your Pocket
Good Fish Guide.
Check the table inside for the fish you want to buy or
eat at a restaurant. Make sure you avoid eating fish in
the red list, enjoy eating fish in the green list and only
occasionally eat fish from the amber list.
If you love fish...
w Diversify your choice: We’re too reliant on the
“Big Five”: cod, haddock, tuna, salmon and prawns. Choose
species such as coley or gurnard instead of cod. Mackerel
or pilchards instead of tuna.
w Go green: Choose fish caught using methods with
lower environmental impact, such as hand lined or pot
caught.
w Look at labels: The Marine Stewardship Council
(MSC) seafood ecolabel recognises and rewards sustainable
fishing. The Marine Conservation Society recognises MSC
certified as a better environmental choice for many seafood
products.
w Choose organic when buying farmed
seafood:Organic farms tend to have lower stocking
densities, higher environmental standards and use feed
sourced sustainably, so look for the organic label.
w Avoid eating sharks and deepwater fish:
They tend to be slow growing, long-lived species such as
redfish and orange roughy, which breed slowly and are
therefore vulnerable to over-exploitation. Fishing for deep
sea fish can harm other sensitive species like coldwater coral
that may never recover.
w Become a member:Be a part of the movement to
save our seas. The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the
UK’s leading charity for the protection of our seas, shores
and wildlife. The voice for our seas for almost 30 years,
MCS champions protection for marine wildlife, sustainable
fisheries and clean seas and beaches. To join us, visit:

Good Fish Guide KEY
!
Fish to eat...
...are from well managed, sustainable stocks or farms,
or are resilient to fishing pressure. Green indicates
species that are, in MCS’s opinion, the best choice.
Fish to eat only occasionally...
...are from fisheries that are at risk of becoming
unsustainable due to environmental, management or
stock issues. They may also be recovering from previous
over exploitation, species with relatively low resilience to
modern fishing methods, or fish from farming systems
that need to improve some of their practices. Amber
means MCS recommends that you only eat these fish
occasionally.
Fish to avoid...
...are from unsustainable, overfished, highly
vulnerable or poorly-managed fisheries or farming
systems. Or they may have high levels of unwanted
by-catch (that’s fish caught unintentionally whilst
trying to catch other fish, which may then be thrown
back dead). Red indicates that in MCS’s opinion, you
should avoid these fish until the fishery or farming
system improves.
Keep the facts with you...
Peel off the card below and keep this handy list of fish to eat and
fish to avoid. You have the power in your pocket to make only
sustainable seafood choices.

If You Love Fish

  • 1. The Marine Conservation Society’s Pocket Good Fish Guide puts YOU in control. YOU can safeguard the future of our fisheries and other marine wildlife by only choosing fish from sustainable sources. The Pocket Good Fish Guide lists which fish are the best sustainable choice, fish you should avoid completely, and the fish you can eat just occasionally, to limit pressure on their stocks. Getting the most out of your Pocket Good Fish Guide. Check the table inside for the fish you want to buy or eat at a restaurant. Make sure you avoid eating fish in the red list, enjoy eating fish in the green list and only occasionally eat fish from the amber list. If you love fish... w Diversify your choice: We’re too reliant on the “Big Five”: cod, haddock, tuna, salmon and prawns. Choose species such as coley or gurnard instead of cod. Mackerel or pilchards instead of tuna. w Go green: Choose fish caught using methods with lower environmental impact, such as hand lined or pot caught. w Look at labels: The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) seafood ecolabel recognises and rewards sustainable fishing. The Marine Conservation Society recognises MSC certified as a better environmental choice for many seafood products. w Choose organic when buying farmed seafood:Organic farms tend to have lower stocking densities, higher environmental standards and use feed sourced sustainably, so look for the organic label. w Avoid eating sharks and deepwater fish: They tend to be slow growing, long-lived species such as redfish and orange roughy, which breed slowly and are therefore vulnerable to over-exploitation. Fishing for deep sea fish can harm other sensitive species like coldwater coral that may never recover. w Become a member:Be a part of the movement to save our seas. The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the UK’s leading charity for the protection of our seas, shores and wildlife. The voice for our seas for almost 30 years, MCS champions protection for marine wildlife, sustainable fisheries and clean seas and beaches.

  • 2. POCKET Good Fish Guide KEY ! Fish to eat... ...are from well managed, sustainable stocks or farms, or are resilient to fishing pressure. Green indicates species that are, in MCS’s opinion, the best choice. Fish to eat only occasionally... ...are from fisheries that are at risk of becoming unsustainable due to environmental, management or stock issues. They may also be recovering from previous over exploitation, species with relatively low resilience to modern fishing methods, or fish from farming systems that need to improve some of their practices. Amber means MCS recommends that you only eat these fish occasionally. Fish to avoid... ...are from unsustainable, overfished, highly vulnerable or poorly-managed fisheries or farming systems. Or they may have high levels of unwanted by-catch (that’s fish caught unintentionally whilst trying to catch other fish, which may then be thrown back dead). Red indicates that in MCS’s opinion, you should avoid these fish until the fishery or farming system improves. Keep the facts with you...
