   This video from Seafood Watch and the Monterey Bay Aquarium gives orange roughy a red rating for being unsustainably fished with bottom trawling nets that wipe out entire coral ecosystems.

   They are rightly telling conscientious customers to avoid buying it.

   "It's a red alert if you ever see orange roughy on the menu" -> how's that for NZ's clean green trademark?
