Waitrose commitment to supporting sustainable fisheries and fishing practices has enabled them to remain one of the UK’s leading seafood retailers. For a fish to be termed 'sustainable' by Waitrose, it must be a species not commonly regarded as endangered or over-fished, come from a well-managed fishery with scientifically based quotas, be caught using selective fishing methods that minimise damage to the environment, and be fully traceable from catch to consumer.
