Chefs For Good Fish

  • More than 80% of the Dutch restaurants serve seafood with a red score
  • Good Fish helps catering companies with their sustainability wishes at no cost
  • There are already more than 500 catering companies participating

Out of the 500 restaurants we investigated in 2018, we found out that 81% had fish on their menu that scores red on our VISwijzer.

Reason enough for a change! Good Fish stimulates chefs, catering businesses, fish shops and restaurants to serve more sustainable fish and ignore fish with a red score on the VISwijzer.

The project

Together with Chefs voor Goede Vis (Chefs for Good Fish), Good Fish is committed to a sustainable catering sector. We strive to ensure that every consumer can enjoy a tasty fish dish, without having to worry about sustainability, because all fish in the Netherlands is sustainable. More than 500 restaurants have now joined our catering programme.

The Chefs for Good Fish programme focuses on more than just restaurants, though. We also help supermarkets, wholesalers, fish suppliers and fish shops in becoming more sustainable. With the well-known VISwijzer icons, they show their customers which fish is sustainable and which is not. In this way, consumers can make a well-considered choice for themselves.
