2. Atlantic flatfish (halibut, plaice and sole)
This is another example of overfishing and waste. Commercial fishing produces what is known as “wasted bycatch,” which occurs when fish or other marine life are accidentally caught while targeting another species. Each year, U.S. fisheries discard approximately 900 million kilos of bycatch—the equivalent of 500 million meals! The California gillnet fishery, which targets halibut, has been singled out as one of the worst offenders. If you’ve eaten halibut in the United States, it most likely came from this fishery.
