Before you complain about your workday, listen to this episode. We first spoke with Nitesh Pal, the CEO of Polar Seafood Ukraine, just days after Russia began its incursion into the country in 2022. Pal, like so many other Ukrainians, had his life and business turned upside down by the attack. He went from living what he called the life of his dreams to a nightmare. Since that time, Pal and his co...

Now, exposes in India and China have called into question just how thorough the auditing process is for companies carrying certification, and if those labels are enough assurance. While sustainable seafood expert Andrew Mallison of Fi...

Craigslist is great, but if you're trying to sell a massive seafood company, it's going to take more than an online post.
