Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch guides provide at-a-glance info on which fish is relatively abundant (ok to eat) and which species are overfished (need to avoid). They also flag types of seafood that contain levels of mercury or PCBs that pose a health risk. Choose your region below, print it out and stick it in your wallet!

These guides are for the United States. If anyone knows where I can obtain information about sustainable seafood in other countries, please let me know by emailing editor@adventures-in-climate-change.com.
