Congratulations to Co-Op!

The Marine Conservation Society has just published the results of their supermarket survey and Co-Op came out a clear winner on selling sustainable sea food.

I've certainly been noticing it on the shelves locally - all of their own brand produce is reasonably sustainable (eg Line-caught Icelandic cod, as opposed to cod from other sources) or even better, carries an MSC mark as certified fully sustainable (eg. their own brand tinned salmon).

(the MSC logo looks like a small blue oval with a white tick in it)

Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose also performed strongly.

The full results are here: http://www.mcsuk.org/what_we_do/Fishing%20for%20our%20future/Supermarket%20survey/Supermarket%20survey

Haddock for tea tonight (from the Co-op, of course!)
