October marked National Marine Month and something exciting has been brewing at the SASSI Headquarters. If you have ever had difficulty identifying the species of the seafood at your local fish counter, we have an answer for you. Our new FishID app is a seafood identification system in the palm of your hand. This new SASSI tool will make identifying your favourite sustainable seafood species much easier. All you need to do is scan the fish top to tail at a fish counter and the app will do the work for you. The app currently only identifies a limited list of species & improves as more images are submitted by ocean champions like you.
Download the app by searching “SASSI FishID” in your Appstore or click here for Android:
