GFA Evaluation
Wild-caught Cape Hake from the deep, cold waters off South Africa's Atlantic coast -- a pure, low-fat, high-protein whitefish from South Africa's largest fishing company.
MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certified -- South Africa's hake trawl fishery was the first hake fishery in the world to meet the MSC standard, first certified in 2004 and recertified multiple times since.
No specific farm/fleet-level labor certification found beyond the MSC standard's fishery-management and chain-of-custody criteria.
The MSC certification is independently issued and covers the entire South African hake trawl fishery, publicly verifiable through MSC's registry rather than a single company's own claim.
