Basics for the Refrigerator and Freezer
The refrigerator and freezer are essential to a good pantry. When it comes to the refrigerator, goods from the sea are as necessary as eggs and butter. Look for items such as smoked fish, fish dips, and pasteurized crab that can be added to warmed corn tortillas, omelettes, soups, and more. When it comes to the freezer and fish, frozen really is the new fresh. Best-in-class freezing techniques mean that it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference between fresh and frozen. The best of the best in fish and seafood now comes straight from your freezer, so stock up!

Sustainability: I recommend pasteurized, frozen blue crab caught in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay with trotlines – a domestic crab that is considered a “Best Choice” by Seafood Watch. Blue crab stocks in the U.S. are considered healthy in most states with the exception of Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay waters. In these areas, there is an endangered turtle called the Diamondback Terrapin which lives in the brackish waters of estuaries, tidal creeks, and salt marshes of these states and gets caught in the pots used to catch crabs.

“I like keeping jumbo lump crab meat on hand and also recommend Joe’s Stone Crabs, which you can order online. My family has them for Christmas Eve!” They have sourced from the same area since the early 1900s, which has been managed very carefully.

I believe that there are many great salmon choices – from well-managed wild stocks when it’s salmon season to marine net pens to indoor recirculating tanks (RAS) with wastewater treatment. I am so excited to champion a third-generation family farmer in the Arctic Circle, Kvaroy Arctic. It is a way to support farming done right while championing sustainable, ethical aquaculture.

Keep an eye out for giant freshwater prawns farmed in Central and South America and giant tiger prawns from Selva Shrimp Verified Farms in Southeast Asia, which are rated green for “Best Choice.”
“Good Alternatives” (the yellow rating from Seafood Watch) include white leg shrimp from ponds from Ecuador and Honduras, white leg shrimp grown in infrequent exchange ponds from Thailand, and giant freshwater prawns from Asia.
For wild-caught “Best Choice” shrimp, look for spot prawns (aka spot shrimp) and two other closely related coldwater shrimp: the sidestripe and the coonstripe (both of which may be marketed as spot shrimp or prawns). These are caught on the Pacific Coast, primarily from Washington to Alaska.
You can also get sustainable, wild-caught shrimp sustainable shrimp from Del Pacifico Seafoods. Their Mexican shrimp is Fair Trade certified, which means that it has the Marine Stewardship Council label, is properly harvested, and there’s a premium paid on this that goes back to the workers to build schools and soccer fields and all the great contributions that you’d want in a fisher community!
