Seattle Fish Co. is Colorado’s first and only seafood distributor with a “business collaborator” relationship with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program. This means we’ve made a commitment to identify, track and improve the sustainability of our products, engage in educational outreach and provide accurate Seafood Watch information to our customers. Because of our relationship we have decided to partner and host a one-of-a-kind sustainability event this August called “Sustainable Seafood Denver”. Join thought leaders, industry professionals, chefs and seafood influencers from across the country in our very own city! Below are the details for the two events and how you can get involved.
