Consumers today demand seafood that is both delicious and responsibly sourced. Open Blue Cobia—a healthy white fish—delivers on both counts. Our commitment to sustainability is unwavering, as evidenced by our rigorous farming practices and industry-leading certifications.

By choosing Open Blue, you’re not just offering a premium product to your customers but also supporting a healthier planet. Here are more details about our certifications:

Aquaculture Stewardship Council

One of our most significant endorsements comes from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). This globally recognized certification program focuses on promoting responsible aquaculture practices. The ASC sets stringent standards that address key environmental and social impacts, ensuring that fish farming is carried out in a manner that protects ecosystems and respects local communities. By adhering to these standards, Open Blue demonstrates its dedication to producing high-quality seafood while minimizing negative effects on the environment.

The ASC certification process involves rigorous assessments of our farming practices, including evaluations of water quality, feed sustainability, and the impact on surrounding ecosystems. By meeting these stringent requirements, Open Blue not only reinforces its commitment to responsible aquaculture but also contributes to the overall health of our oceans.

Best Aquaculture Practices

Another essential certification is from the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) program. BAP is known for its comprehensive approach to seafood certification, covering various aspects of fish farming, including environmental responsibility, animal welfare, and food safety. Open Blue’s BAP certification guarantees that our farming operations meet rigorous standards at every level, from hatchery to processing.

This certification ensures the quality of our Cobia while highlighting our focus on ethical practices that benefit both the planet and our consumers. It involves regular audits and inspections to verify compliance with BAP’s standards, providing additional assurance to our customers about the quality and safety of the seafood they are consuming.

Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program

Additionally, we are proud to be part of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program, which provides consumers with guidance on sustainable seafood choices. This program assesses the sustainability of seafood options based on their environmental impact and encourages consumers to make responsible choices. Being listed as a sustainable seafood option helps consumers make informed decisions while supporting practices that protect ocean health.

Open Blue’s commitment to this program shows our dedication to transparency and responsibility in seafood production. By promoting our partnership with Seafood Watch, we hope to raise awareness about the importance of choosing sustainable seafood and empower consumers to make choices that align with their values.
