-Mussels can be harvested from the wild or farmed. They're possibly the most sustainable seafood you can get - they don't need feeding; mussel farms attract and provide homes for other marine life; and they sequester carbon in their shells.

-Brill, delivered fresh from a small fishing boat, roasted with spuds, mushrooms, onions, garlic and chilli. See [here](http://lowimpactorg.onyx-sites.io/low-impact-city-7-experience-local-fishbox-community-supported-fish-scheme/) for more of our fishy adventures (Dave of Lowimpact). This fish was from Faircatch, which is sadly no longer operating. We switched to [**Sole of Discretion**](https://soleofdiscretion.co.uk/) instead.

-The European eel is now as endangered as the Bengal tiger, and shouldn't really be on menus at all. Numbers have fallen by 95% since the 1980s, but we're not sure why. They breed in the Sargasso Sea, then the young have to swim across the Atlantic to get to Europe to breed. If this wasn't difficult enough, they now have to cope with overfishing, pesticides, weirs and the Gulf Stream slowing down.

-The most sustainable way to obtain seafood is almost definitely to catch it yourself (see [here](/coas/coastal_foraging) and [here](/fish/fishing)); and if you're concerned with the economic and social benefits to communities of small-scale fishing, you can support them by purchasing from distributors that we'll highlight [here](http://lowimpactorg.onyx-sites.io/directory/categories/seafood-products-services). You could even try to join them - there's [training](https://www.seafish.org/safety-and-training/seagoing-training/offshore-approved-training-providers/) and sometimes [grants](https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/topics/fisheries-grants-and-funding/fisheries-grants) available. You're not going to get rich with a small fishing boat - it's more about preferring an outdoor lifestyle close to the sea.
