World of Seafood🐟
Fishy Business Overseas
Venturing overseas, I love exploring local supermarkets and vibrant farmers’ markets to uncover the culinary delights and seafood preferences of the locals. On a thrilling supermarket excursion, my excitement grew as I stumbled upon a fresh seafood section with ASC and MSC labels. It was a true saviour for environmentally conscious shoppers, offering a clear path to delicious and sustainable seafood choices

Sustainable Labels 👀
The two common labels sought by environmentally conscious shoppers in search of sustainable seafood are the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) labels. These certifications serve as indicators that the seafood has been responsibly sourced or farmed, adhering to stringent sustainability standards.
Singapore Standards📈
But wait there is more! In Singapore, we have our own sustainable certification. GAP (Good Aquaculture Practice) refers to a set of guidelines and standards established by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) to ensure responsible and sustainable aquaculture practices by local farms in Singapore.
GAP-certified products will have a red logo on them just like the one on the left 👉.
