As our fish stocks become over fished one company believes, Johnson Seafarms, belives they have come up with the perfect and organic solution. Farmed, organic code farmed according to environmentally friendly methods.

As North Sea cod is increasingly being taken off the shelves by ethical retailers because of overfishing, Shetland’s cod farmers claim to have produced cod you can eat with a conscience.

Johnson Seafarms will be supplying about 1,500 tons of firm No Catch organic cod to Tesco and other retailers and has had a staring role on Gordon Ramsay’s The F Word.

The cod is expensive – at £16-£18 a kilo, but having tried it myself I think it is worth every penny. The farmed fillets are firmer and whiter than wild-caught cod, partly because they have no parasitic worms (present in one in five wild cod), and partly because they have not been stressed in a trawl.

The fish are kept healthy – successfully so far – by stocking them in much lower densities than farmed salmon and handling them as little as possible, using patented separator grids.
