better fishing. better fish

We don’t want to bore you, with rules and regulations, but it is important to understand that not all fish is harvested equally. Fish that look and taste the same, but are managed differently have much different impacts on the health of our ocean resources.

Morning Star is committed to providing only locally caught seafood harvested under the most sustainable practices.

GROUNDFISH

How we fish has resulted in a “Green”/ Best choice rating from Seafood Watch that is exclusive to California Groundfish Collective harvest.

All of the groundfish offered by Morning Star Fisheries is harvested under California Groundfish Collective guidelines by our vessels. We don’t source from anywhere else, so you always know how your fish was caught and where it came from.

Morning Star is the ONLY guaranteed source of “best choice” groundfish in the San Francisco Bay Area.
