Sustainability

We prioritize sourcing seafood from suppliers who are committed to maintaining healthy marine life and ecosystems, while also respecting workers and communities. All of our canned tuna comes from fisheries aligned with our Sustainable Seafood Policy, ensuring ethical sourcing practices. We are dedicated to increase our purchasing within the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch and pledged in 2021 to prioritize species verified as Responsibly Harvested by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) across the New England region. Through our partnerships and intentional sourcing standards we are able to serve up the finest fish while actively promoting the health of ocean ecosystems!
