Seafood perfect for summer barbecues
July 21, 2025
Get the BBQ out, choose responsibly, and give your summer a sustainable flavor.
Summer days and long evenings call for fresh drinks and of course: a well-stocked barbecue. Whether you are relaxing in the garden with family, friends or neighbors – good food brings people together. So, what do you cook on the barbecue? How do you choose healthy options without compromising on taste? How do you choose responsibly?
Carefree enjoyment starts with a conscious choice
Did you know that more than half of all the fish we eat worldwide is farmed? Seafood farming plays a key role in how we shape our food supply sustainably and responsibly. From water quality to nutrition, working conditions to animal welfare, ASC certified farms receive an annual independent audit, ensuring the seafood you eat comes from a responsible source, so you can enjoy what’s on your plate with peace of mind.
Healthy and tasty
Besides being a sustainable option, seafood is also a healthy choice. Oily fish such as salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart, brain and energy level. Other species – such as shrimp or basa – are also rich in protein, vitamin D and important minerals.
Seafood is also light and easily digestible, ideal for a summer meal where you don’t feel too full afterwards. And with so many seafood options, you can choose something for your guests that is nutritious, varied and delicious. Get those shrimp skewers on the barbecue, because with a few smart choices you can turn your barbecue into a feast that is as delicious as it is responsible.
Transparency you can taste
How do you make conscious choices while shopping? When you choose ASC labeled seafood, you know exactly where your seafood comes from and that you are contributing to. You’re also choosing to support farms that work hard to protect our oceans, support communities, and farm with care. This will make your barbecue not only a culinary highlight, but also a conscious one.
