What You Can Do to Help Fish

Go Vegetarian

By leaving fish off your plate, you’ll be doing your part to end their suffering. With so many reasons not to eat fish and so many delicious vegetarian seafood alternatives, choosing a fish-free diet is now easier than ever before! Your local Asian food mart or health-food store likely carries vegetarian mock-seafood products—including faux lobster, salmon, and shrimp—that have all the flavor of the “real thing” but none of the contaminants or cholesterol. For recipes that capture that taste of the ocean without killing its inhabitants, click here. Visit VegCooking.com for more savory meat-free recipes and shopping guides, or click here to order a free vegetarian starter kit.

Swear Off Lip-Ripping
There are tons of great ways to enjoy the great outdoors without causing animal suffering and habitat pollution. Grab a mask and a snorkel and start exploring the fascinating world below the water’s surface. Go for a relaxing walk along the water’s edge, or volunteer to help clean up the litter and cast-off fishing gear that clutters so many of our shorelines. Take up kayaking or canoeing, or brush up on your backstroke. Once you close your tackle box and open your mind, you’ll be able to enjoy the beauty of our lakes, rivers, and oceans without contributing to animal suffering or environmental destruction. When you put down your fishing pole and pick up a fish-friendly hobby, everyone wins!

Go Public
Leave a stream of leaflets and stickers in your wake! Changing personal habits is a great way to save fish and other animals—and you can help get the public hooked on compassion by hitting the streets and spreading the word. Click here for free fliers and stickers to help you get the message out—doctors’ offices, coffee shops, and other busy locations are prime spots for pro-fish PETA leaflets!
