Cephalopods
From Australia to the USA, and from Japan to Greece and Italy, around 60% of Indonesian octopus are exported to countries where sustainability is top priority. Through a combination of certification from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and our participation in Fishery Improvement Projects (FIP), we provide shipments of Indonesian squid, cuttlefish and other cephalopods that are caught using sustainable methods.
