Waitrose is set to remove mackerel from its shelves amid escalating concerns over unsustainable fishing practices.

The retailer said that it is the first major UK supermarket to suspend sourcing of the popular fish.

It said that fresh, chilled, and frozen mackerel, primarily sourced from Scottish waters, will be unavailable to shoppers by 29 April. Tinned varieties will follow once the current stock is depleted.

    That guide is interesting. Only lists brown crab though and no others, is that just because the others are unpopular enough to not really matter?

    Also feel like it should be easier to legally catch invasive species to eat, salt water fine as you can just turn up without permission or permits but fresh water you need to do a bunch of paperwork to bother catching invasive crayfish. Make it easy for anyone to eat the invasive species to extinction!
