Del Pacifico Seafoods, the only fair trade certified wild caught Mexican shrimp product available on the market, was recently awarded the Friend of the Sea certification in recognition of the company’s sustainable fishing method that respects and protects the marine environment.
Del Pacifico’s wild-caught shrimp are fished from small boats known as Pangas powered only by the wind and the tide, rather than the industry-standard trawler. This artisanal fishing technique, along with a selective net, results in the lowest bycatch and fuel consumption per pound of shrimp in the entire world.
