When purchasing fish and seafood, we take into account, among other things, the requirements defined by NORDSEE regarding origin and the supply chain. Our goal is to prioritize sourcing certified products for all our retail locations.
NORDSEE fresh fish counters in select Meeresbuffet locations are certified with the following seals:

MSC

The MSC label indicates that the fish comes from a certified fishery that has been independently assessed against the criteria of the MSC environmental standard. The MSC standard includes requirements regarding fish stocks, impacts on marine ecosystems, and fisheries management.

asc

Fish and seafood bearing this label come from aquaculture operations that have been independently certified according to the standards of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). These standards include requirements in areas such as animal health and welfare, working conditions, community engagement, and biodiversity.

BIO
