Our first post. Please don’t let it flop šŸ‘€šŸŸ

Once ASC-certified seafood leaves the farms, it remains identifiable and traceable all the way to your table.

But what does that actually mean?

ASC-labelled seafood comes from ASC-certified farms and moves through certified supply chains designed to protect its identity and provide traceability along the way.

Think of it as a seafood paper trail šŸ“

From the farms, through the supply chain and onto your plate, systems are in place to help make sure the seafood carrying the ASC sustainability label is what it says it is.

Because knowing where your seafood comes from matters.

So next time you spot the ASC label, remember there’s a whole journey behind it, and it comes with proof 🧾🌊

What does a day on an ASC-certified farm actually look like?

For Lubimar, it's fish checks at dawn, quality control by midday, and a plate on the table by evening 🐟

Lubimar is the first farm in the world independently certified to the ASC environmental and social standard under the new ASC Farm Standard. A new benchmark for what certified aquaculture can look like.

From former salt fields to thriving estuary to your plate. Spanish heritage meets a global standard šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡øšŸŒ

From the pens to the people behind them, there's a lot worth seeing beneath the surface.

Every fish here comes from farms independently certified to the ASC environmental and social standard.

When life gives you ASC-labelled mussels... make Thai green mussels 🌿

It's important to know where your seafood comes from. So, when you're picking up your mussels, look for the ASC sustainability label (it's your sign they come from ASC-certified farms) and then turn them into this creamy, Thai-inspired bowl with coconut milk, green curry, fresh lime and a little chilli šŸŒ¶ļø

You'll need:

1kg ASC-labelled mussels

400ml coconut milk

2 tbsp Thai green curry paste

4 spring onions, sliced

A handful of fresh coriander

1 lime, zested and juiced

1 red chilli, sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

To make:

Clean the mussels, removing any grit and beards. Discard any with cracked shells or those that stay open when tapped firmly.

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and soften the spring onions. Add the curry paste and coriander stems and cook for 1 minute.

Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Add the mussels, cover and cook for 4-5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally.

Once the mussels have opened, stir through the lime zest, juice and coriander leaves. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

Finish with sliced chilli and lime wedges.

šŸ“Œ Save this recipe for your next seafood night!

In the crystal-clear waters of Sardinia’s Gulf of Oristano, Riservazzurra, part of the Waterhouse Group, represents a benchmark for responsible Italian aquaculture.

As the first company in Italy to achieve ASC certification for sea bass, sea bream and meagre, it demonstrates a strong commitment to quality, environmental stewardship and transparency.

Supported by a multidisciplinary team of veterinarians, marine biologists and skilled operators, Riservazzurra continues to view certification not as a finish line — but as a path of continuous improvement.
