Sustainable fishing supported by Ocean Basket
Compliance with the South African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI) has been achieved in every stage of Ocean Basket's business, from purchasing of fish to distribution as well as development and presentation of menus. Diners will be pleased to know that each of its restaurants around the country is SASSI compliant.
SASSI, which works with the World Wildlife Fund, has numerous aims, one being to shift demand away from over-exploited fish like cod, towards more sustainable choices. As part of this exercise, the restaurant is working with SASSI to create awareness around the conservation of sea fish.
The restaurant group encourages customers to visit the SASSI website and learn more about sustainable fishing. After all, the more customers know, the keener they are to preserve this healthy resource for their children and future generations. The website is www.wwfsassi.co.za.
