What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Marine Conservation Society released its latest Good Fish Guide, which shows that the status of fish stocks is continuously changing. Several popular white fish, including coley and hake, have seen their ratings drop due to population decline or increased fishing pressure. The guide now recommends Alaskan pollock, monkfish, or seabass as sustainable alternatives.
