CleanFish is a new organization devoted to hooking up sustainably farmed fish with consumers. They aid tiny, eco-minded fisheries by helping them sell their seafood to prestigious restaurants and retailers across the U.S.:

We believe that these days, sustainable seafood of the highest quality and taste is only possible when it comes from artisans who carefully cultivate or harvest with a depth of tradition, stewardship, and respect for the communities and precious ecosystems in which we all eat and live.

CleanFish, which works with around two dozen aquafarms and wild fisheries, has become a valued resource for all kinds of environmental groups. Says president Tim O'Shea:

"Folks from the David & Lucile Packard Foundation recently called us and said they know shrimpers in Mexico's Sea of Cortez who want to become more sustainable but are afraid they won't find customers who'll care."

Thanks to CleanFish, those shrimpers now sell their Fisherman's Daughter brand of sustainable shrimp to restaurants like Akasha in Culver City, California.

Support CleanFish by telling the next restaurant in which you eat to contact them in order to purchase their food from these small eco-conscious fisheries!
