Better Fish to Fry: Sustainable Seafood

In 2019, Kowalski's became the country's first retailer to be recognized as a Smart Catch Leader by the James Beard Smart Catch program. The James Beard Foundation's Smart Catch program is a seafood sustainability program aimed at helping restaurant chefs make good, sustainable decisions in procuring seafood for their menus. Kowalski's features a wide variety of sustainably caught fresh seafood and receives shipments from around the world every single day, thereby offering up to 40 fresh fish choices in total. Most, if not all, of Kowalski's seafood is flown directly to the Twin Cities, resulting in fish that is five to seven days fresher than seafood arriving by truck at other local markets. Because at Kowalski's, it's all about the joy of good seafood!
