Starting today some 400 plus restaurants, grocery stores and seafood suppliers across Canada will be serving up sustainable chowders, dishes, fillets, and packaged products to celebrate sustainable seafood as part of the Ocean Wise Seafood Festival 2022.
All February long, Canadians are invited to try delicious dishes and products from Ocean Wise Seafood Partners in this celebration of sustainable seafood and ocean conservation.

Overfishing is one of the greatest threats to our ocean with grave impacts on the food web and the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. By simply changing the seafoods we eat, people everywhere can help end overfishing, protecting our oceans and the lives that depend on them. Since 2005, the Ocean Wise symbol next to a seafood item at a restaurant or grocery store has helped Canadians easily choose ocean-friendly seafood.
Not only does the festival celebrate sustainable options Nationwide, proceeds from each item purchased during the Ocean Wise Seafood Festival will support Ocean Wise in its efforts to ensure healthy and sustainable marine life. Ocean Wise seafood evaluates stock health, management practices and impacts on the environment and other species. Choosing Ocean Wise recommended seafood ensures the long-term health of our oceans and waterways for generations to come.
