Signature feature
Ocean Wise whitefish
Ocean Wise recommended wild-caught seasonal whitefish naturally free from antibiotics
What it is Ocean whitefish, first on the list, caught wild from fisheries rated by a seafood sustainability program. The species shifts with the season, which is what the recipe name means.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Ocean Wise rates how a fishery is managed, not what lands in the bowl. Wild fish are never given antibiotics anyway, so the badge speaks to the ocean more than to your dog.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Five fish ingredients sit in the top nine, two of them concentrated meals. Potatoes and tapioca fill the gaps, and there is no chicken anywhere.
- 1 Ocean Whitefish
- 2 Menhaden Fish Meal
- 4 Salmon
- 6 Herring Meal
- 9 Ocean Rockfish
