Wondergadgetjolt’s Seafood Field Notebook
An independent guide to reading seafood labels, following batch records, and checking sourcing claims.
- For
- Curious seafood shoppers and small food businesses
- Worth noticing
- It treats “local” as a claim to clarify: landing port, farm, vessel, and seller can all mean different places.
Field notes
The homepage treats traceability as a chain of handovers: vessel, processor, wholesaler, then counter, with lot identifiers connecting the steps. Its annotated record is explicitly a list of fields to ask about—not a real delivery—and includes scientific name, catch area or farm location, gear or production system, lot reference, delivery date, and temperature checks. It also cautions that certification scope and chain of custody matter; stocking some certified seafood does not certify an entire counter.
