Cod

Recommendations
Eco-Best Pacific cod caught by longline	Eco-OK Pacific cod caught by trawl	Eco-Worst Atlantic cod

Recommendations

These fish have low levels of contaminants

Atlantic and Pacific cod are the two species caught commercially in U.S. waters.
Atlantic cod populations, heavily fished for decades, are a fraction of what they once were. Habitat damage and bycatch (as a result of trawling) are also problems in this fishery.
The Pacific species (coming primarily from Alaska) is a better ecological choice.
