Leaning towards not as sustainable, so I'll just go with not eating them to be safe, they sell sooooo many of them.
The sad little hoki fish inside your Filet-O-Fish sandwich - DailyFinance

So, do you eat other fish like this? Fish sticks, that sort of thing, or do you not eat any of it? I dont see how you can come to the conclusion that MCDs is doing wrong when it appears to be doing what it can to encourage fishing responsibly. That sort of good corporate behavior should be rewarded, I think. And the only real way to reward a company is to buy its products.

Should hoki be used in Filet-o-Fish sandwiches? Yes. And no. And I don't know? McDonald's sustainability objectives look as admirable as they can be, given the circumstances. For once, I have to applaud the fast food company on its initiatives.

So should McDonald's use hoki -- and should any restaurant or frozen food manufacturer buy the fish? The tone of the New York Times piece seems to suggest that hoki, especially that caught off the shores of New Zealand, is a less sustainable choice. Certainly, the World Wildlife Fund agrees. Australia WWF fisheries program manager Peter Trott told the New York Times that ecosystem damage, population declines, and the accidental killing of other marine creatures -- skates, sharks and seals -- is untenable. "We have major concerns" about the sustainability of New Zealand hoki fishing.

Not such a good choice for McDonald's after all.
I won't eat fish sticks either. I'm very close to not eating any flesh what so ever.

Nope.

Never shot a meat ball 'nither, or dug up a Cesar salad or struck a beer well.
