In my Greenpeace mag today I read that John West and Princes brands, which together make up 60% of the market, are the worst at ensuring the fish they sell is caught using sustainable methods.

Here is a list of the best to the worst;

Asda, Tesco, CoOp, Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Princes then John West.

So now you can choose wisely.
Yes I read that too.
Waitrose have a good reputation for green issues on the whole and they do give local farmers a good go.
I have tried not to buy Albatross unfriendly/ Dolphin unfriendly tuna but it's not easy when some don't say what fishing methods are used.
