This came across my desk today. Good on them for sticking to their guns, but whoa boy am I a sad kid for those lemon capers.

That’s cool. Last I checked MSC wasn’t certifying any mackerel fisheries.

The next few decades are going to be really interesting for the seafood industry. Climate change is changing migration patterns for all kinds of species, and the landscape is going to look totally different. I’m in VA where they are starting to offer shrimping licenses since they are spawning further north, and I wouldn’t be surprised if our commercial fisheries become something akin to what they have in South Carolina.

They are on a steep discount at my grocery store.

Wow, seems like a solid case of actually putting their money where their mouth is, guess it’s time to start buying Patagonia

Good for Patagonia! Crazy time to be alive. Wish we’d been better environmental stewards…

Related or unrelated, King Oscar Mediterranean Style Atlantic Mackerel shot up 20% in price the last two months.
I was getting a sleeve of 12 for 30 bucks which was a hell of a deal.

Just checked my store, checked with their supplier. They hadn’t heard anything yet. Sad.

Well, shit. Mackerel in tomato sauce was my first tin I really enjoyed. Does this mean that it’s time to stop buying Atlantic mackerel at all?

Also, thank you to whoever cross posted this to TinnedFish. I couldn’t figure out to do so on my lunch break. You rock!

Change doesn’t always mean bad, just different. Sometimes bad, sometimes for the better. There’s no such thing as “perfect”.

I saw someone else post this at 4am and ordered $86 worth of stuff… mostly because I’ve wanted to try the paprika mackerel and don’t want to miss my chance forevee
