The Iceland Story • In 1999 Waitrose stopped buying Atlantic Cod from the European Fishery and started sourcing all its requirements from Iceland • Dedicated Icelandic supply base For Cod, Haddock, flat fish and prawns
The Iceland Story • "The Decision to move all of Waitrose's requirements for Atlantic cod was a difficult one, but necessary, if we are to continue to offer our customers high quality fish from sustainable sources. Many of the World's fisheries are over exploited , with many species of fish under threat, and sadly this includes the European fishery particularily for Atlantic Cod" Jeremy Ryland Langley Waitrose Fish Buyer
