Trusted Catch™: Responsible Sourcing
At Gorton's, we partner with suppliers who share our
passion for bringing the highest quality and freshest seafood to
consumers and to protecting the world’s marine resources, habitats, and
ecosystems. These suppliers adhere to our stringent quality standards,
may be subject to third-party inspections and audits, and go through an
annual risk assessment. Our seafood is fully traceable to the source.
While the majority of our wild caught seafood is from MSC-certified fisheries and the majority of our aquaculture (farmed) seafood is from BAP/ASC-certified sources, our Trusted Catch™ program goes beyond certification to enact real change in the industry and on the water. By basing decisions on scientific data and utilizing best practices, we ensure that our seafood is responsibly sourced today and that our seafood resources are protected for the future.
As part of our Trusted Catch™ program, we keep our focus on long-term
sustainability and continuous fishery improvement, which is why we
actively support Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) for wild-caught
seafood and actively search for Aquaculture Improvement Projects (AIPs)
for farmed seafood. FIPs and AIPs are alliances of stakeholders, such as
processors, producers, non-governmental organizations, and/or catchers,
that come together to resolve problems within a specific fishery or
improve a specific aspect of the fishery that requires attention, such
as unreported bycatch.
The goal of a FIP or AIP is to improve the responsible sourcing
practices of the fishery and meet all the standards required for being
certified as sustainable by a credible third-party certification body,
such as MSC.
Gorton's Involvement in Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) and Aquaculture Improvement Projects (AIPs)
Russian Pollock Fisheries Improvement Project
Gorton's is a leading participant and full steering committee member of the Russian Pollock Sustainability Alliance, which started the Russian Pollock FIP in 2009. The goal of the Russian Pollock FIP is to improve the fishery by pressing for better policies and management while voluntarily changing purchasing and fishing practices to reduce problems such as illegal/unregulated/unreported bycatch and to meet and exceed sustainability levels required for MSC certification. The Russian Sea of Okhotsk Pollock Fishery achieved full MSC-certification in September 2013.
North Pacific Salmon Fishery Improvement Project
Gorton's is actively engaged in wild Salmon fishery improvement efforts across the Pacific Rim as a stakeholder in the North Pacific Salmon FIP run by the Wild Salmon Center (WSC) and through a commitment to source from wild Salmon fisheries that are third-party certified, in assessment, or in a credible FIP. The WSC is an international conservation organization located in Portland, Oregon, that identifies science-based solutions to ensure long-term abundance and diversity of wild Pacific Salmon by improving management practices and increasing the supply of third-party certified, sustainable Salmon.

I made some tartar sauce and sliced some fresh lemon for those who like either or both.
Below I toasted some whole grain bread, added tartar sauce, mixed greens, and dill pickle slices with 1 Gorton's skillet Crisp Talapia fillet cut in half to make a sandwich.
Next I made the Gortons Skillet Crisp Tilapia Garlic & Herb flavor. I served it on a bed of long grain rice and other grains.

The little girls loved their Gortons crispy garlic & herb fillets. I served them with star & moon potato crisps and a fresh fruit salad with a slice of lime.
The 3 yr old and 6 yr old loved these Gortons Skillet Crisp talapia even more than fish sticks!
My family and I really enjoyed the Gorton's Skillet Crisp talapia. I have to say the Classic Seasonings with a touch of lemon was my favorite! I love how these skillet crisps are lightly battered, flakey fillets with just the right amount of seasonings and are not mushy or overcooked like some fish fillets are. We enjoyed them with a squeeze of lemon on a bed of grains and fresh steamed vegetables. We also really liked the fillets on the fish sandwiches we made. That was my favorite as well! I am so happy I got to try Gorton's Seafood again, because we really love these skillet crisp talapia fillets.
