Created in 2009, Smarter Seafood is an accreditation program that encourages the diversification of fish and seafood consumption in order to reduce the overfishing of certain species. Certified businesses are committed to introducing their customers to edible marine species that are present in sufficient quantities in the St. Lawrence, are relatively unknown to consumers and are fished using techniques that don’t disturb the seabed.
