Ocean Industries, owner of the online and delivery seafood company ProFish, has become the first company in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area to be chain of custody certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
“We view this as a real accomplishment. With our commitment to bringing knowledge regarding sustainable seafood, having MSC certification was an absolute must,” Greg Casten, president, said. “Traceability in seafood is the way of the future and we are proud to be entrusted with this certification.”
The company, which sells over 600 species in total, will now be able to sell salmon, tuna, cod, haddock, several species of prawn, shrimp, crab, sablefish, pollock, swordfish, flounder, hake, Patagonian toothfish, and Pacific halibut with the blue MSC ecolabel.
