OUGD505 - Studio Brief 02 - Research on local fish markets

I decided to look into local fish markets and found an article where Carrie Brownstein who is a seafood expert asks local fish markets questions about fish and their sustainability.

How do I know if a fish monger is reputable? What should I look for in a good fish market?

Your fishmonger should be able to answer basic questions such as:

• For wild-caught fish, ask:
• In what specific fishery was it caught—what ocean body
• What specific fishing method was used to the catch the fish?
• Is the fish MSC-rated? If not, is it rated by the Blue Ocean Institute or Monterey Bay Aquarium? What’s the rating? (Whole Foods Market does not sell red-rated wild seafood.)
• For farm-raised fish, ask:
• What specific farm is it from

After looking at this Q&A I have realised that a lot of people do actually ask about the sustainability of fish and how they are caught. It even goes to the extent that people bring guides to ask. 

"Just as I was interviewing the fishmongers, a customer shared that she always carries her Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Guide!]"
