More than 30 percent of the world’s fisheries “have been pushed beyond their biological limits,” according to the World Wildlife Fund, endangering such species as bluefin tuna and Chilean sea bass. The fish counter can feel like a minefield—it’s hard to know which species have been sustainably harvested. Over the past 14 years, Ocean Wise, a conservation program founded by the Vancouver Aquarium, has been working with markets, suppliers and restaurants to ensure they have the up to date scientific information (look for its logo). You can find recommended options, including black cod, on its website.
