Guy Harvey’s Research Institute sets guidelines with the consumption of seafood and Guy Harvey’s Island Grill puts this into action. There are fish to eat and fish to avoid. Let’s talk about the fish NOT to eat:
- Chilean Seabass/Toothfish
- Cod Atlantic
- Crab: King (imported)
- Flounders, Soles: (Atlantic)
- Groupers
- Halibut: Atlantic
- Lobster Spiny (Caribbean imported)
- Marlin
- Monkfish
- Orange Roughy
- Rockfish: (Pacific)
- Salmon (farmed including Atlantic)
- Scallops: Sea (Mid-Atlantic)
- Sharks
- Shrimp (imported farmed or wild)
- Snapper: Red
- Sturgeon, Caviar (imported wild)
- Swordfish
- Tilefish
- Tuna: Albacore, Bigeye, Yellowfin
Avoid these fish at least for now. These fish to avoid, come from sources that are over-fished or caught or farmed in ways that harm other marine-life or the environment.
Let’s talk about the fish that are the best choice to eat:
- Barramundi: (US farmed)
- Catfish: (US farmed)
- Clams: (farmed)
- Cod: Pacific (Alaska long-line)
- Crab: Dungenuess, Snow, Stone
- Crawfish (farmed)
- Halibut: Pacific
- Herring: Atlantic/Sardines
- Lobster: Spiny (US)
- Mackerel: king, spanish
- Mullet: striped
- Mussels: (farmed)
- Oysters: (farmed)
- Salmon: (Alaska wild)
- Sardines
- Scallops: Bay (farmed)
- Striped Bass: (farmed or wild)
- Sturgeon, Caviar (farmed)
- Trout: Rainbow (farmed)
- Tuna: Albacore and Skipjack
These are your best seafood choices! These fish are abundant, well managed and caught or farmed in environmentally friendly ways.
Guy Harvey’s Island Grill will help you make choices that make difference. Consume the “fish to eat” to support those fisheries and fish farms that are healthier for ocean wildlife and the environment. So next time you’re ordering or purchasing seafood ask:
- Where is the seafood from?
- Is it farmed or wild-caught?
- How was it caught?
The Guy Harvey Research Institute is committed to conducting the reseearch needed by policy makers and managers to make effective decisions regarding the conservation and management of the world’s rapidly diminishing fish population.
A percentage of all Guy Harvey’s Island Grills go to help fund Guy Harvey’s Research Institute at Nova University.

I disagree with the research as well. Grouper and Snapper are abundant in the Florida waters. There are as many grouper and snapper as there were twenty five years ago. I disagree with the regulations on recreational fisherman who are constantly being the target for the so called decrease in fish stock while the commercial guys go out and are allowed to bring in a big haul. Red fish are everywhere inshore, grouper, and snapper offshore. There is no reason for not allowing folks to go out and fish. I agree with some of the species that are listed on the do not eat list. I just cant agree with the grouper and snapper..
How come shrimp, redfish, and tuna are on your menu then???
And you have Tuna listed on both lists…Nice! Thanks for being an idiot!
