Best Choice: These fish are abundant, well managed and fished or farmed in environmentally friendly ways. Good Alternative: These are good alternatives to the best choices column. There are some concerns with how they are fished or farmed – or with the health of their habitats due to other human impacts. Avoid: Avoid these products for now. These fish come from sources that are overfished or fished or farmed in ways that harm the environment.
