Thanks For All the Fish

Eating oily fish, like the Mackerel, has clear health benefits for humans. Since 2011, the North-East Mackerel has also been considered an 'environmentally-friendly choice' for consumers. All good things must, however, come to an end. The Marine Conservation Society's (MCS), new 'Good Fish' guide, now classifies Mackerel as unsustainable (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/05/mackerel-loses-sustainable-status-as-overfishing-puts-species-at-risk). The MCS, unremarkably, say the Mackerel's decline is due to overfishing. 'Environmentally-friendly' consumer choices will have to come and go. It's essential that consumers and food providers keep up-to-date with the latest information and act appropriately.
