GOOD: Fish You Can Eat with Clear Conscience

At the recommendation of Mark Bittman, I ate sardines for dinner last night ("one of the few fish not (yet) on anyone’s “watch” list, so unlike most seafood they can be eaten without guilt," he writes), but selecting what fish to eat for dinner isn't always so straightforward. Many fish that you wouldn't expect, like cod and grouper, are on seafood advisory lists, either because of unsafe mercury levels or overfishing.

Instead of serving up another list of fish to avoid, GOOD magazine takes the opposite approach with their latest infographic, telling eaters which fish to enjoy in each region of the country. The table is based on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch List, so for a deeper look at what fish to eat and avoid, check out Monteray Bay's updated chart of seafood alternatives.
