About Mister Goodfish:
Launched in 2010, the Mr. Goodfish programme is the result of a simple observation: Today, too many fish species are over-fished and threatened with extinction, while many others are barely known, abundant and, above all, delicious. The aim of this initiative, which is now supported by many hundreds of professionals, is to offer consumers an alternative by inviting them to discover new species selected according to the list drawn up by the “Mr.Goodfish” programme. This list, drawn up by marine resource specialists, is updated with every season, depending on the state of the resource, the size, the season and the status of the species.
The Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco committed since its creation to the preservation of threatened sea species, and in particular red tuna, co-ordinates development of the “Mr.Goodfish” programme on the Mediterranean coast.
