Philip MacMullen, Seafish Head of Environmental Responsibility, said that he broadly welcomes the MCS “Fish to Eat and Fish to Avoid List”,
According to Mr MacMullen, consumers need clear guidance to help them make responsible choices when buying seafood.
Good, clear labelling will become a very important part of this process in the future but traceability is still far from perfect as far as consumers are concerned. In the meantime, it is genuinely difficult to be sure of all the details of any given fish supply line. "To this extent advice given via lists such as this one must match the reality of the available information. We should not be raising unrealistic expectations."
