One of the easiest ways to celebrate and support the ocean is to look for the MSC blue fish label.
The MSC blue fish label means the product carrying it is made with wild-caught, certified sustainable seafood that meets the MSC Fisheries Standard. These requirements ensure that the seafood: comes from abundant fish stocks, was fished in a way that minimizes environmental impact, is sourced from a fishery that has effective management in place, complies with relevant local and international regulations, and can adapt to changing conditions.
We make choices about what to purchase and what to eat every day. During Earth Month and every month, when you see the MSC blue fish label, you know you're good because you know you're choosing something that's wild caught and sourced from an MSC certified fishery.

These smiles say it all! Channel Fish is a great place to work. From testing new products, to attending Seafood Expo North America, to celebrating work anniversaries, every day at Channel Fish is unique. Keep an eye out for job openings at channelfish.com.
