Good Fish suppliers

The Good Fish Foundation is always looking for collaborations with a variety of fish suppliers that fit in our horeca programme. In The Netherlands, various suppliers and wholesales associate themselves with sustainability. However, this does not mean their entire stock is sustainable. In 2019, research bureau Pointer concluded that wholesales score alot worse in terms of sustainability in comparison with supermarkets. Only 5% of the Bidfood products are certified for example. The majority of the fish sold at Makro (19%), Hanos (20%) and Sligro (28%) are also not certified.

For customers of wholesales and fish suppliers, it may be difficult to see what items are sustainable. Analyzing whether a product is ASC- or MSC-certified is the best way to do so, but these fish products are underrepresented at wholesales. Apart from that, not all fish species have a certification, forcing you to follow the information the wholesale or fish supplier gives you.

For that reason, you will find a list of all the wholesales and fish suppliers that currently sell sustainably caught or responsibly farmed fish products.
