TALK TO ME ABOUT THE WORD “<strong>SUSTAINABLE</strong>.”<br />
Sustainable seafood is fished or farmed using practices that maintain healthy<br />
seafood populations without harming the environment.<br />
HOW DOES RUBIO’S FIT IN?<br />
We strive to source sustainable seafood whenever we can. And the good<br />
news is, nearly every seafood item on our menu is certifi ed sustainable or from<br />
responsibly managed fi sheries. That includes our Wild Alaska Pollock, Shrimp,<br />
Regal Springs ® Tilapia, and Atlantic Salmon.<br />
With certain fi sh — like Mahi Mahi — sustainable just isn’t possible yet.<br />
Hopefully that changes. Mostly for the sake of the Mahi Mahi, who we love.<br />
WHO CERTIFIED THE <strong>SEAFOOD</strong>?<br />
The Wild Alaska Pollock found in our Original Fish Taco ® is sourced from<br />
the icy ocean waters in Alaska and is certifi ed as responsibly managed in<br />
accordance with the FAO-Based Responsible Fishery Management (RFM)<br />
Certifi cation. This means that they meet the criteria of the United Nations<br />
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Code of Conduct for Responsible<br />
Fisheries. Our responsibly farm-raised Regal Springs Tilapia is certifi ed by the<br />
Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and our Shrimp & Atlantic Salmon<br />
come from fi sheries that are certifi ed in accordance with Best Aquaculture<br />
Practices (BAP). These third party certifi cations are awarded to fi sheries that<br />
meet sustainable seafood standards and for seafood traceability.<br />
HOW CAN I HELP?<br />

<strong>SUSTAINABLE</strong><br />
<strong>SEAFOOD</strong><br />
By choosing seafood that is fi shed or farmed in ways that don’t harm the<br />
environment, you help preserve ocean species and ensure a healthy ocean for<br />
future generations. So that’s good. To go the extra nautical mile, just be aware of<br />
where the fi sh you purchase comes from and how it was caught or raised. And<br />
choose fi sh that is sustainable when you can.<br />
