The year 2020 is finally here. And you know what? We’re feeling pretty good about it! That’s because eating more fish and seafood is on our list of goals to accomplish for the year. And with the twenty reasons below, already having access to wild-caught and sustainable seafood can make you feel ahead of the game.
