As any of us can testify, it\u2019s one thing to make a well-considered environmentally and socially decision when leisurely shopping for seafood in the weekend.\u00a0It\u2019s quite another to run the gauntlet of the work week and still manage to get something on the table that tastes great, is good for you, and supports your ideals \u2014 all on a Wednesday.<\/p>\n

A new range of frozen seafood options, available under the Iglo, Findus and Birds Eye brands, just made these weeknight dinner victories a whole lot easier in Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen good food decisions are made easier for regular families to follow through on, we all win,\u201d says Esther Luiten, Commercial Director, Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). \u201cA key part of moving the world towards a more sustainable food system is creating better seafood options that fit the way we live now.\u201d<\/p>\n

A long-time champion of responsibly harvested wild fisheries, with numerous MSC-certified products across their brands, Nomad Foods (parent company of Iglo, Findus and Birds Eye) is extending their commitment to the environment with ASC-certified responsibly farmed products.<\/p>\n

Nomad debuted two ASC-certified products, one trout and one arctic char, in Austria in spring of 2015. Now, they\u2019re bringing more options to more markets with a greatly expanded line of ASC-certified favorites, like salmon, shrimp and basa \u2014 all of which can be kept on-hand in your freezer and cooked up quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving easy-to-find options of responsibly farmed seafood, and from brands that are already part of so many people\u2019s everyday lives, is a great boost for farmers, the environment, and the ever-growing number of consumers who want to be part of the solution,\u201d Luiten adds.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s for dinner?<\/b><\/p>\n

Here at ASC, we know that aquaculture is where it\u2019s at for responsible and sustainable food production that can feed growing global demand.<\/p>\n

Nomad Foods knows that convenience is where it\u2019s at for people juggling the demands of work and family schedules.<\/p>\n

With frozen seafood, there\u2019s really nothing simpler or faster. Cleaned, portioned and ready to go, you\u2019re just a few minutes away from a #weeknightwin. Here\u2019s what you can find in your country:<\/p>\n
