How Climate Change Is Reshaping the Seafood Industry: The Importance of Sustainable Seafood Sourcing Practices
The seafood industry is feeling the pressure of a warming planet. As climate change accelerates, it’s altering ocean temperatures, shifting fish populations, and putting marine ecosystems at risk; all of which are directly reshaping the way seafood is sourced and served. In response, sustainable seafood sourcing practices are becoming a vital part of how forward-thinking restaurants operate. For diners who care about the future of our oceans, understanding how these changes affect what ends up in your bowl has never been more important.
The Climate Crisis Beneath the Surface
Climate change is dramatically altering marine life. Warmer waters are causing fish populations to migrate, coral reefs to bleach, and biodiversity to decline. These disruptions impact coastal communities, food security, and the future of seafood itself. For the restaurant industry, especially those serving seafood, adapting to these changes is not optional; it’s essential.
That’s why sustainable food choices are now a key component of doing business responsibly. Sourcing fish that are responsibly harvested, abundant, and caught using low-impact methods helps preserve marine ecosystems and protects the seafood supply for future generations.
Why Ethical Sourcing Matters
At Poké House, ethical food sourcing is more than a buzzword: it’s a core value. We understand that the choices we make in sourcing our ingredients directly affect the health of our oceans. That’s why we work only with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability, including using 100% ASC-certified salmon and long-line caught tuna.
Our approach to seafood sourcing for restaurants is rooted in transparency and environmental responsibility. We prioritize seasonally available ingredients and source our produce as locally as possible, reducing the carbon footprint of our supply chain. From the sea to your bowl, every step of our process reflects care for both the customer and the planet.
Our Salmon is ethically farmed from vendors who hold Aquaculture Stewardship Council certification!
