 EcoFish Mahimahi comes from the South American handline fishery (a line held by hand near surface with a few hooks), where local villagers fish in small open day boats. Handline is very selective, thereby avoiding the otherwise common bycatch (catching untargeted species) on longlines (hundreds of hooks below surface) of shark and turtles. Also known as Dorado, these fish are widespread and abundant because they are efficient reproducers and grow very rapidly.

 EcoFish Wild Alaskan Salmon are caught by local family fishers, either troll caught (on hook-and-line) or gillnet caught. We chose Alaskan salmon because they are abundant, their habitat is intact and the fishery is extremely well managed. State biologists count salmon as they migrate up their natal river, and don't open the fishery until enough salmon escape up river to spawn and create a healthy population for future years. Salmon that return to rivers in Alaska are abundant because the rivers are clean and healthy and able to sustain salmon eggs and young salmon.

 EcoFish Wild Bay Scallops are harvested from the cold clear Antarctic waters off the shore of Argentina. This wild fishery is certified sustainable to the Marine Stewardship Council's environmental standard.

 EcoFish White Shrimp are grown in a state of the art aquaculture facility in Ecuador. The eco-friendly farm utilizes crystal-clear river water direct from the Andes Mountains. Naturally raised according to Naturland organic standards without chemicals, pollution, antibiotics or genetic modification.

 EcoFish Albacore Tuna come from family fishers in the Pacific Northwest troll fishery (hook-and-line). Due to the selective nature of troll gear, the otherwise common bycatch (catching of untargeted species) of dolphins and turtles is not an issue. These Albacore are abundant because they are prolific breeders, fast growing and wide-ranging.

 Our Manila Clams (Venerupsis japonica) are a hard-shell species that are grown on beaches in Washington State and are harvested by hand raking. This eliminates the habitat damage that occurs in the harvest of wild clams. Since they are filter feeders, they require no feed, and actually clean the water they live in.

 Our Alaskan True Cod (Gadus macrocephalus) is from the fixed gear (pot or line-caught) fishery, which eliminates the issues of habitat destruction in most cod fisheries from bottom trawling gear. The fishery is closely monitored by the state, and like so many others in Alaska, is regulated by a series of "openings" throughout the year, with painstaking attention paid to the landings to assure the future of both the species and the fishery.

 We picked the Oregon Dungeness Crab due to the exceptional management of the resource. A low bycatch trap fishery with minimal habitat issues, where only males are taken. Dungeness Crab is considered by many to be the most sustainably managed crab fishery in the world.

 EcoFish Wild Alaskan Halibut come from the healthy and well-managed stocks of the Alaska longline fishery (hook-and-line). This is a strictly managed quota based system (preset limits), with concerned Alaskan fisherman taking the admirable step of requesting regulations requiring "scare" devices to minimize the bycatch of Albatross.

 Our Blue Mussels (Mytilus edulis) are all rope grown in Washington State. Rope cultured (hanging from ropes suspended in the water column from rafts) with local seed stock, the culture of these mussels is very friendly to the surrounding environment, unlike many of the wild mussel fisheries that drag the seafloor to harvest them. These mussels filter-feed on the crystal clear water, eliminating the need to feed them, and they clean the water in the process!

 EcoFish's oysters (Crassostrea gigas) come from suspension culture farms that sometimes finish them on the beach to harden the shells. Suspension aquaculture is sustainable because the seafloor is not disturbed in harvesting by habitat destroying dredges. Our oysters are the Pacific oyster, which is the most widely cultured oyster in the world.

Our spot prawns come from Alaska, where we only purchase prawns caught by the small artisinal family trap fishers. The resource has a solid management plan, and because they are trap-caught, there is no bycatch mortality or habitat destructive gear employed.

 Our Sablefish (Anoplopoma Fimbria) is also commonly called Black Cod, or Alaskan Butterfish. Biologically, it's closest relative is the Patagonian Toothfish (a.k.a. Chilean Seabass). Sablefish is sourced through deepwater longlines off of the Alaskan coast, and is very strictly managed with a season that mirrors the halibut fishery.

Our Pink Shrimp (Pandalus jordani) come from Oregon. This wild fishery is certified sustainable to the Marine Stewardship Council's environmental standard. The abundant resource is harvested with trawls, which normally have bycatch and habitat destruction issues in other fisheries. This fishery is the rare exception because bycatch is avoided through the use of bycatch reduction devices, which have been mandatory in Oregon since April 2003. The fishery is conducted during the daylight hours when shrimp are congregated near the bottom.
