What Is Sustainable Seafood?
Sustainable seafood is more than just a buzzword in the seafood industry; it’s a responsible choice that ensures the health and abundance of ocean life for generations to come. When you dine at Fitchies, you’re not just savouring incredible flavours; you’re also supporting sustainable seafood practices.
Our Ocean-Friendly Menu
Let’s dive into the heart of our ocean-friendly menu to give you a sustainable seafood guide. From the depths of the ocean to your plate, we’ve selected the finest sustainable seafood for you to enjoy. Here are some of the star players:

Why Choose Sustainable Seafood?
Choosing sustainable seafood isn’t just about good taste; it’s about making a positive impact on the environment. Our oceans are fragile ecosystems, and overfishing in the seafood industry can disrupt the delicate balance of marine life. By opting for sustainable options, you’re helping to:
- Preserve Biodiversity: Sustainable practices protect a variety of species and maintain the health of our oceans.
- Reduce Bycatch: Responsible fishing methods minimise unintentional catches, preserving non-target species.
- Support Local Communities: Sustainable fisheries often benefit local communities, ensuring economic stability.
Sustainable Fishing Practices In The Seafood Industry
Sustainable seafood practices are a set of responsible fishing and aquaculture methods designed to ensure the long-term health and vitality of our oceans.
These practices focus on harvesting seafood in a way that minimises environmental impact, preserves marine biodiversity, and supports the livelihoods of fishing communities.
Sustainable fisheries adhere to strict guidelines that limit catch quotas, protect vulnerable species, and reduce bycatch (the unintentional capture of non-target species).
Additionally, responsible aquaculture practices prioritise the well-being of farmed seafood, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals and promoting responsible feed sourcing. By embracing sustainable seafood practices, we can enjoy the delicious flavours of the ocean while safeguarding the marine ecosystems that sustain us.
Fitchies’ Commitment to The Sustainable Seafood Movement
Our dedication to sustainability goes beyond the menu. We take concrete steps to minimise our environmental footprint:
