Sustainable Seafood - It’s Always in Season!
Sustainable seafood is always the best choice, no matter what the species is or the season.
The world’s oceans are threatened by overfishing, ineffective management, increasing consumer demand and habitat destruction...these are just a few of the issues affecting oceans today.
Supporting the sustainable seafood movement by purchasing sustainably fished or farmed seafood will
give our waters and fish a fighting chance. Plus, it helps ensure plentiful sources of healthy seafood will
be available in the future. From the fisheries and fishermen, to seafood distributors, chefs and consumers, sustainable seafood just makes sense.
Stokes Fish Company is committed to purchasing and providing sustainable seafood.
We believe that we have a responsibility to purchase “sustainable seafood”. With the growing population of the world, the demand for seafood protein will eventually deplete the oceans. We have a responsibility to purchase wild seafood when the product is harvested in a responsible manner and only during approved seasons. We also believe that the long-term solution to providing premium sustainable seafood is through the growth of aquaculture. Over the last twenty years this industry has grown worldwide and has provided us a wonderful supply of various species of seafood to harvest. With the oversight of several major world agencies, this industry is providing seafood of the highest quality possible. They can provide a consistent harvest of quality seafood. We encourage you to ask us about the sustainable seafood we carry and the companies we are proud to partner with.
