All Aussies should have this

Such a useful guide when at store or fish market.. there is a clear lack of sustainability labelling or even sourcing in Australia. Very helpful!

Can’t find the right fish

Good app to have in the phone when shopping for fish. But half the fish listings in the local fish’n’chip shops or markets don’t match the fish names here. Probably an issue for government to enforce standardised naming but would be great if the app could help to clear up confusion. What is “butterfish” or “couta”? Wish I knew!

Need to get production credentials for Google Maps

Currently the sustainable restaurant mapping function does not work properly as development only Google credentials are being used.

Great and educational

The app is great it can help guide our future but there is still lots more to do the one thing when I look up shark fin soup nothing comes up it has limited names for shark flake is the only one add more types of code names but overall 10/10

There’s no such thing as sustainable fishing

It’s impossible to police our oceans and the fishing industry is driving them to extinction including massively contributing to ocean plastic. If like me, you care about eating sustainability, the only way to do this with seafood is to massively reduce or abstain. Watch Seaspiracy
