Tip 1: Look for sustainable certification.
For tuna, you’ll want to pay close attention to the Seafood Watch and MSC recommendations. For example, pole-caught skipjack tuna is a sustainable option, while bluefin tuna—drastically overfished—is one of the worst options for conscientious shoppers.
The main concerns about fishing methods are the amount of bycatch they produce—the marine animals caught alongside the fish being harvested for the market—and the damage they inflict on marine habitats. Bottom trawls that are dragged along the seafloor to harvest large quantities of fish, are particularly bad offenders on both fronts; bottom trawls alone catch 4 million tons of bycatch annually.
