Friend of the Sea audit for sole, turbot, dab, cod and brill fished in
the ICES Areas IV b and c and in the Dutch coastal waters. Its
products can now carry the international sustainability seal of
approval which means the fish are from not over exploited
nor IUCN Redlisted stocks and with selective methods which do not impact
the seabed.
