To be confident all fish and shellfish come from sustainable sources, i love blue sea founder Martin Reed also holds high standards for traceability. He works only with suppliers that maintain excellent record keeping and individually barcode fish for easy tracking. The company packages everything at its warehouse so staff can inspect bills of lading. Martin shared with SOP his sustainable seafood vision: “As more consumers demand sustainability and the traceability to verify, I hope fisheries and all the other intermediaries realize that they need to make responsible, ethical decisions to remain relevant.”

The west coast-based company ships its seafood in ‘green’ packaging, which includes biodegradable packing peanuts that melt when in contact with liquid. All products are shipped overnight to ensure customers get the freshest seafood possible. Shipping costs are quite high for us east coasters. But, above the first pound or two, any additional pounds add very little to the cost.
So, for your next dinner party, think about sustainable seafood and order a bunch from i love blue sea to spread out the shipping cost. SOP sees huge potential for companies like i love blue sea that take the guesswork out of buying sustainable seafood. We hope your local fishmonger follows suit.
