To celebrate 25 years of rating seafood to inform and persuade consumers, the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch has compiled a top-ten list of seafood that gets top marks by Seafood Watch and is nutritious and healthy to eat. To promote the top-ten, the Aquarium writes:

“…the Super Green List includes ocean-friendly and nutritious seafood. Simple and straightforward, you can eat these species in good conscience — for your body and for the planet. These foods are high in omega-3 fatty acids, low in mercury, and, above all, are rated green by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program for environmental sustainability. (Note: Seaweed omega-3 levels vary by species.) They’re good for you and good for the planet. They’re Super Green!”

Seven of the ten Super Green rated seafoods are U.S. farmed!

• Catfish
• Clams
• Hybrid Striped Bass
• Mussels
• Oysters
• Trout and Steelhead
• Seaweed

In addition to the Super Green rankings, the Aquarium recognizes more U.S. farmed seafoods as Green or Best Buy consumer choices:

• Abalone
• Almaco Jack
• Red swamp crawfish
• Red drum
• Yellow perch
• Florida pompano
• White leg shrimp (RAS and ponds)
• Sturgeon (Russian, Siberian, White – California (raceways, tanks) Idaho (raceways, tanks)
